Example 1 - Simple cross-browser embedding
This is a simple example for an embedded Windows Media Player. Here the EMBED Tag was ”nested” into the OBJECT Tag. As we have seen in the book Internet Explorer uses the OBJECT Tags to embedd an ActiveX control with a given ID into a HTML page. Although proprietary, the concept of ActiveX controls gives programmers much more flexibility than Netscape’s plug-in model. For example, you can integrate functions of Windows Media Player, Encoder and Services in websites using ActiveX controls.
The source code below just embedds a Windows Media ImageWindow without any controls, buttons or info panels.
