Description
The noembed
element is used to provide alternative content for browsers that don’t
support the embed
element. It’s not defined by any standard (it was introduced by early
Netscape browsers), and as such there aren’t any guidelines as to what it
may or may not contain.
Use This for…
This element is used to
provide alternatives for media files contained in
embed. For example, you might use it to provide a
combination of images (img) and descriptions in
paragraphs (p), or list
items (li) in place of an
animated version of the content contained in a movie
file.
