Element Specific Attributes


Netscape does not specifically define attributes for this element; however, Netscape documentation suggests that class, id, style, and title might be supported for this element.

Example


<embed src="trailer.mov" height="150" width="150">
 <noembed>
  <img src="trailer.gif">
  <br />

Sorry, this browser is not configured to display video.
</noembed>
</embed>

Notes


This element will disappear as the <object> style of inserting media into a page becomes more common.

Even if other browsers do not support the tag and render its contents, it works in the manner it was designed.
