<EMBED>
The easiest and "most supported" way to add video or sound to your
web site is to include the special HTML tag called EMBED. This causes the
browser itself to include controls for the multimedia. No ActiveX, Java,
VBscript or JavaScript is needed for this method.
This tag is one-sided, meaning that there is no </EMBED> tag.
Multimedia elements included in this manner appear on their own line and are
centered on the page.
It's also a good idea to include the <NOEMBED> tag to support
browsers which don't recognize the <EMBED> tag. You could, for
example, use <EMBED> to display a movie of a dog, and <NOEMBED>
to display a single JPG frame. The <NOEMBED> tag requires the </NOEMBED>
tag.
The <EMBED> tag causes a control panel to be displayed. This
appears as follows:
| align=alignment |
|
Determines how to align the object. May have the
following values:
| CENTER |
Center the header |
| LEFT |
Align to the left |
| RIGHT |
Align to the right |
|
| "browser specific parameter"=value |
