The age old question. <object>
vs <embed>
. From what I gather, <object>
is the XHTML-compliant way of doing things, while <embed>
is for legacy support. I'm currently building a Flash application that will contain a pre-made embedding code for users to copy and paste, and I'm wondering if it's feasible to simply dump the <embed>
tag altogether.
Which browsers would be unable to load my application if I gave my users an <object>
-only embed code?
Thanks :)
