HTML Plug-ins


Plug-ins are computer programs that extend the standard functionality of the browser.

Plug-ins
Plug-ins were designed to be used for many different purposes:

To run Java applets
To run Microsoft ActiveX controls
To display Flash movies
To display maps
To scan for viruses
To verify a bank id


Warning !
Most browsers no longer support Java Applets and Plug-ins.
ActiveX controls are no longer supported in any browsers.
The support for Shockwave Flash has also been turned off in modern browsers.


The <object> Element
The <object> element is supported by all browsers.
The <object> element defines an embedded object within an HTML document.
It was designed to embed plug-ins (like Java applets, PDF readers, and Flash Players) in web pages,
but can also be used to include HTML in HTML:

Example

<object width="100%" height="500px" data="snippet.html"></object>

Or images if you like:

long time. However, it has not been a part of the HTML
specification before HTML5.
