The purpose of a plug-in is to extend the functionality of a
web browser.




HTML Helpers (Plug-ins)


Helper applications (plug-ins) are computer programs that extend the standard
functionality of a web browser.


Examples of well-known plug-ins are Java applets.


Plug-ins can be added to web pages with the <object> tag or the <embed> tag. 


Plug-ins can be used for many purposes: display
maps, scan for viruses, verify your bank id, etc.



To display video and audio: Use the <video> and <audio> tags.






The <object> Element


The <object> element is supported by all browsers.


The <object> element defines an embedded object within an HTML document.


It is used to embed plug-ins (like Java applets, PDF readers,
Flash Players) in web pages.




Example



<object width="400" height="50" data="bookmark.swf"></object>
