What's the current (as of April 2010) state of affairs regarding <object> vs <embed> in HTML?
- by rvdm
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 :)
