Notes
• While many browsers support this attribute, it is not part of any W3C standard.
• See the “<wbr> (Word Break)” section later in the chapter for a discussion of how to
implement soft-break functionality without the proprietary
wbr
element.
<noembed> (No Embedded Media Support)
This Netscape-introduced element is used to indicate alternative content to be displayed on
browsers that cannot support an embedded media object. It should occur in conjunction
with the
embed
element.
Proprietary Syntax (Initially Defined by Netscape)
<noembed
class="class name"
id="unique id"
style="CSS rules"
title="advisory text">
Alternative content for browsers that do not support embed
</noembed>
Element-Specific Attributes
Netscape does not specifically define attributes for this element; however, testing and
documentation suggests that
class

id
,
style
, and
title
might be supported for this
element in many browsers.
