A technique for ensuring that multimedia embedded in a page degrades gracefully. Use the EMBED proprietary element within the content of an OBJECT, and associated with aprropriate descriptive text. Note that EMBED is not a W3C-recognised element, and that there is no mechanism to associate ALT text with it directly (CMcCN:: Can someone with NS3 or IE or something check this?). Therefore this technique is only useful to solve a legacy problem. Use of EMBED in other manners actually creates an accessibility problem. Charles
