Name
Embedded Object
Description
This tag puts a plugin into the web page e.g. a media player ready to play
music. In order for the browser to be
able to run plugins, the right software must be installed on the computer.
If the correct software is not present, a white rectangle will be
displayed. SRC is the only required attribute.

are:

or src="folder/music.mid". You can also use dots to play a file
in the parent folder e.g. src="..\beethoven.mid". To play a file
on another site, use the full URL e.g.: href="http://www.martin2k.co.uk/music.mid".
