[WEB4LIB] Re: browser differences

[Chris Gray]

This is one of those uninplemented standards problems.  I forget which way
around it is, but for certain multimedia content, you have to use EMBED to
get it to work in one leading brand of browser and OBJECT to get it to
work in the other leading brand, so you have to have both in your code if
you want browser compatibility.
