The Ta g



The tag is not part of the W3C XHTML 1.0 specification but it is included
here because it was often used in the past. The W3C recommends using the
tag instead. The tag can be used to place sound and other media in a Web
page. It is a self-contained tag and does not have a corresponding closing tag. Table A.34
shows tag attributes and their values.
