Embed/Object Flash/Java

8t10 · 1 Nov 2011 at 16:07

Hi,

I'm trying to find out the most compatible way of embedding flash and java applets, for a client facing site, so it needs cross browser compatibility, but obs I can offer other browsers different solutions.

Valid HTML5 too.

<embed> or <object> is the question really?

For Flash you should use the Google SWF code.

Thanks, but I'd rather not use conditional statements for IE. They are just a bit dodge. And I can't really use third party stuff for this project, but they use the object tag.

What is the standard non-javascript way? That is valid?

The thing that is putting me off is using a third party app. I can't do it for this project. And conditional statements wouldn't go down too well in this, since they are effectively a HTML hack.

I really only need to know how the best, current, in-form way to do it using either embed or object tags.
