6. Embedded Content (Images and Objects)

Embedded content is typically some form of media: an image, a movie, a Flash application, and so on. In each case, it’s an external resource that’s loaded into your page. This chapter focuses on the elements that facilitate that.

If you’re working on an HTML5 site, be sure to check out this chapter’s companion, Chapter 13, which focuses on embedded content elements unique to HTML5, including audio, video, canvas, and more.

Note

Looking for the embed element? Please see Chapter 13. Though in widespread use for years, it wasn’t part of the X/HTML specs. However, HTML5 makes it official.
