The pdf etc files don't show up under the Internet Explorer.

What can be done without annoying the user?

Which version(s) of IE? I have tested it and confirmed that it works in IE 5.5, 6, 7, and 8

Internet Explorer version 9, to be exact: 9.0.8112.16421

I will check it out as soon as I can get access to a Windows 7 system.

I installed Win7 and IE 9 - the problem with embedded documents is that the default (medium) privacy settings for IE9 do not allow the browser to talk to Google's Google Docs servers properly. When the privacy level is set a little lower (to Low) the documents appear fine.

I've got a fix for this, that replaces the Google Docs iframe with text that says 'Your browser is unable to display this document inline.
Please click here to download the document." It appears only for IE 9.

I can publish a patch, or incorporate in an updated module - Any interest?

There is a thread full of IE suggestions:

Two of reasonable are:

and

Add some warning like you did, or better provide a Download link under the field.

If you can incorporate any, that will be great.
Thanks
