Someone asked: >>> Does any of you know if I can use the ALT= keyword in an <EMBED SRC=> tag >>> as I do in <IMG SRC=>, or can not? Then another replied: >><EMBED> is obsolete. The W3C has standardized on <OBJECT> for that And a third said: >Except of course that Netscape supports EMBED and does not yet support OBJECT. >Minor point - except that the vast majority of browsers in use as NS. And I would like to comment/ask: MSIE supports <EMBED>, although they say in their spec: OBJECT is the preferred element for inserting objects, but EMBED is included for backward compatibility with earlier HTML documents. Which brings up an interesting point from a practical point of view: which to use <EMBED> or <OBJECT>? Obviously, <OBJECT> is the correct thing, but has anyone figured out a short-term solution (until Netscape gets with the program) short of making pages and then having to rebuild them?
