embed
Definition and Usage
The <embed> is a block element a container for an external application or interactive content (a plug-in). This topic documents only the element that is defined as part of HTML5. The <embed> element creates an embedded panel in which a third-party application, such as a Flash-based object, can run. Note that the<embed>
element is an empty element (no closing tag is used).
The basic tag is written like this <embed src="" type="">
with the URL of the embedded resource added to the src
attribute (i.e. between the double quotes). The type
attribute accepts the MIME type of the embedded resource.
