Attribute for <EMBED ...>
PLUGINSPAGE = "URL"

If the browser doesn't have the necessary software to run the plugin indicated in the <EMBED ...> tag, PLUGINSPAGE indicates the URL where the browser can get the software. It's a good idea to include this attribute for any plugin you use that isn't for the most common media types (MIDI, AVI, WAV).

For example, suppose we use a plugin which has the media type "whack/slack". (There isn't really any such type, this is just an example.) We could use the following <EMBED ...> tag to indicate the URL of where to get the plugin software.

this code produces this 
<EMBED 
    SRC="../cgi-bin/whack.slack.pl"
    HEIGHT=170 WIDTH=150
    PLUGINSPAGE="WhackSlackPlugin.html"
    >

If the browser has not already prompted you to retrieve the plugin software, and if you have the type of browser which supports plugins, try clicking on the plugin space above.
