EMBED Summary

The HTML <embed> Element represents an integration point for an external content- typically, non-HTML content such as an application or some other type of interactive content which involves use of a third-party plugin as a handler (rather than being natively supported by the UA).

Overview Table

DOM Interface: HTMLEmbedElement

Accessibility

Authors should ensure that the information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive (WCAG 2.0 - Principle 1: Perceivable). This includes providing alternatives for time-based media Guideline 1.2.

HTML Attributes

src = URL potentially surrounded by spaces
gives the address of the resource being embedded.
type = MIME type
Specifies the type of the resource.
width = non-negative integer
Give the width of the visual content of the element, in CSS pixels.
height = non-negative integer
Give the height of the visual content of the element, in CSS pixels.

History

While only being formalized as of HTML5, the tag has been informally supported among some user-agents as far back as Netscape Navigator 2.0 [1]

Examples

The following use of the EMBED element mimics the behavior of the BGSOUND tag.

<EMBED type="audio/x-midi" src="BackInTheSaddle.mid" hidden="true">

Way to embed a resource that requires a proprietary plugin, like Flash.If the user does not have the plugin (for example if the plugin vendor doesn’t support the user’s platform), then the user will be unable to use the resource.

<Embed src="catgame.swf">

To pass the plugin a parameter “quality” with the value "high", an attribute can be specified:

<Embed src="catgame.swf" quality="high">

Usage

 The interactive element embed must not appear as a descendant of the a element.
