<object classid="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000" width="100%" height="100%"> <param name="SRC" value="filename"> <param name="_StockProps" value="0"> <param name="_Version" value="65539"> <param name="_ExtentX" value="20108"> <param name="_ExtentY" value="10866"> <embed src="filename" mce_src="filename" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%"> </embed> </object>

Note:

Object label is used for IE browser of Windows platform, and the embed label is for Netscape Navigator browser of Windows and Macintosh platforms and IE browser of Macintosh platform. The IE of Windows platform plays video by Active-X plug-in but others by Netscape plug-in. So when we use this, be sure we write both of them to support as many browsers as possible.
