Web/HTML/Element/noembed

From Get docs

Non-standard This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.


ObsoleteThis feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.


The <noembed> element is an obsolete, non-standard way to provide alternative, or "fallback", content for browsers that do not support the <embed> element or do not support the type of embedded content an author wishes to use. This element was deprecated in HTML 4.01 and above in favor of placing fallback content between the opening and closing tags of an <object> element.

While this element currently still works in many browsers, it is obsolete and should not be used. Use <object> instead, with fallback content between the opening and closing tags of the element.


Examples

The message inside <noembed> tag will appear only when your browser does not support <embed> tag.
