Synopsis

ID=”elementIdentifier"

Optional

A unique identifier that distinguishes this element from all the rest in the document. Can be used to associate a single element with a style rule naming this attribute value as an ID selector. An element can have an ID assigned for uniqueness as well as a class for inclusion within a group. See Chapter 3.

If you assign an ID attribute and not a NAME attribute, the value of the ID attribute can be used as the EMBED element’s name in Internet Explorer script reference forms that use the element name (document.all.embedName).

Example

<EMBED ID="jazzSound" SRC="jazz.aif" HEIGHT=15 WIDTH=25></EMBED>

Value

Case-sensitive identifier.

Default

None.
