I don't believe iframes support data: URIs as src, so you'd have to host the data at a URL like I mentioned in my last reply.
As far as browser support for different file types are concerned, that would depend on the specific file type and browser capabilities, unrelated to Dropbox itself. For example, I don't believe most browsers can natively display word documents, and would instead offer to download the file.
