Netscape Plug-ins

Plug-ins are extensions to the Netscape browser environment. Internet Explorer supports plug-ins from version 3.0 onwards. You can display information to the user using plug-ins and also the user can interact with the browser. You can include the plug-in in the HTML page with the EMBED tag. The browser starts the Plug-ins application and displays it in a window within the browser window. You can control the plug-in window size using the WIDTH and HEIGHT options of the EMBED tag. For example, the following code starts the director application in a 120 pixels wide and 60 pixels height window.

<EMBED SRC=Director_Plug-in WIDTH=120 HEIGHT = 60 >

The SRC option allows you to specify the actual plug-in name. Any additional parameter that is supported by the plug-in can be placed in the EMBED tag. You should have appropriate software in the plug-in directory of the Netscape installation, and you should configure your browser (explained in the later session) to recognize the Plug-in.
