width (HTML attribute)
| Depr. | Version |
|---|---|
| No | N/A |
Syntax
Example
The width
attribute set to "200":
<embed src="giant-grasshopper.jpg" width="300" height="100"></embed>
Description
An object does not require a
width attribute but, like the height attribute, it has
its uses (refer to the advantages set out in the
height attribute reference).
If the
width attribute is set by itself, but no
height attribute is set, the
embed content will be rescaled proportionally (assuming
that the object is a simple image).
In every other respect, the
width attribute is identical in usage/behavior as
the height attribute.
Value
A number representing the width of the embedded object in pixels.
Compatibility
The compatibility of this
attribute is dependent on the type of object. For image type objects,
there is reasonable cross-browser support for the
height attribute.
