<embed/> Tag Examples
Examples of the <embed/> tag in HTML 5
Example of embedding video in HTML 5
The "old" YouTube embed code used an <object> tag and an <embed> tag. The <embed> tag provides a fallback for browsers that do not support the <object> tag. (The "new" YouTube code uses the <iframe> tag.
<object width="640" height="390"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.YouTube.com/v/GGT8ZCTBoBA?fs=1&hl=en_US"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/> <embed src="http://www.YouTube.com/v/GGT8ZCTBoBA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="390"/> </object>
Since the <param/>
tag is a void element, it is not allowed to have any content, even HTML comments and therefore should always be coded as a self-closing standalone tag, ending with the delimiter string />
rather than just >
(<param .../>
).
