Name
UNITS — NN 2 IE 3 HTML n/a
Synopsis
UNITS=”measurementUnitType"Optional
The UNITS attribute is supposed to dictate the
kind of measurement units used for the element’s
HEIGHT and WIDTH attribute
values. Both Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4 appear to treat the
measurements in pixels, regardless of this attribute’s setting.
Example
<EMBED SRC="jazz.aif" HEIGHT=150 WIDTH=250 UNITS="en"></EMBED>
Value
Not only does this attribute not appear to influence the rendering of
an EMBED element, but Navigator 4 and Internet
Explorer 4 disagree on the precise spelling and available units for
values. Navigator 4 specifies choices of pixels or
en; Internet Explorer goes with
px or em.
Default
pixels (or px).
