The <EMBED> element allows authors to embed objects directly into an HTML page. The user needs to have an application which can view the data installed correctly on their machine.

Description |
ALIGN |
Specifies the alignment for the control-like element. The possible values of this attribute are: left, right, top, texttop, middle, absmiddle, baseline, bottom, absbottom. |
ALT |
This optional attribute specifies any text that should be displayed if the browser understands the APPLET element. |
CLASS |
Class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a subclassed style sheet with the tag. |
CODE |
The name of the file containing the compiled Java class.The file path is relative to the base URL of the applet. It cannot be absolute. |
CODEBASE |
This optional attribute specifies the base URL of the applet -- the directory that contains the applet's code. |
HEIGHT |
These required attributes give the initial height (in pixels) of the applet display area, not counting any windows or dialogs that the applet brings up. |
HSPACE |
These option attributes specify the number of margins pixels on each side of the applet. |
ID |
SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underscore character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position. |
NAME |
Specifies the name of the application. |
SRC |
Specifies a URL for the associated file. |
STYLE |
Specifies an in-line style sheet for the tag. |
TITLE |
The TITLE attribute is for advisory information (unless used with a mailto: attribute). The Title attribute should provide the title of the document whose address is given by the HREF attribute. The contents of the title attribute will be displayed in a tooltip during the mouse moves on the link. Internet Explorer 4.0 (and above) is the only browser to implement this. |
UNITS |
Defines the units for the height and width of the EMBED element, expressed as pixels (px) or ems (em). |
VSPACE |
Along with HSPACE=, specifies above and below margins pixels of the applet. |
WIDTH |
Along with HEIGHT=, gives the initial width (in pixels) of the applet display area, not counting any windows or dialogs that the applet brings up. |
Users need to have a plug-in (for Netscape and Internet Explorer) that can manipulate the embedded file format.
