Name
PLUGINURL — NN 4 IE n/a HTML n/a
Synopsis
PLUGINURL=”URL"
Optional
Navigator 4 introduces the power (a feature called Smart Update) to
allow somewhat automatic installation of browser components. If a
user does not have the necessary plugin installed for your
EMBED
element’s data type, the
PLUGINURL
can point to a Java Archive (JAR) file
that contains the plugin and digitally signed objects to satisfy
security issues surrounding automatic installation (via
Netscape’s Java Installation Manager). A JAR file is both
digitally signed and compressed (very much along the lines of a
.zip file), and is created with the help of
Netscape’s JAR Packager tool.
You can include both the PLUGINSPAGE
and
PLUGINURL
attributes in an
EMBED
element’s tag to handle the
appropriate browser version. Navigator 2 and 3 respond to the
PLUGINSPAGE
attribute, whereas Navigator 4 gives
precedence to the PLUGINURL
attribute when it is
present.
Example
<EMBED NAME="jukebox" SRC="jazz.aif" HEIGHT=150 WIDTH=250 PLUGINURL="http://www.giantco.com/plugin/install.jar"> </EMBED>
Value
Any valid URL to a JAR file.
Default
None.
