The HTML   element instructs the browser to request another file which will be embedded within the element, or to embed a suitable plugin within the element. This duplicates the functionalities of the,  , and   elements, but does not (yet) supersede them, possibly due to limited browser support. Additionally, the new  and   elements duplicate functionality found in this element.

The example at right was originally formulated by Bruce Lawson. It is valid as HTML5 and works in all browsers. If it looks too complex to be used, see the  element.
