The ``++<object>++`` tag is used by Internet Explorer 3.0 or later on Windows platforms or any browser that supports the use of the Flash ActiveX control. The ``++<embed>++`` tag is used by Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later, or browsers that support the use of the Netscape-compatible plug-in version of Flash Player.


When an ActiveX-enabled browser loads the HTML page, it reads the values set on the ``++<object>++`` and ignores the ``++<embed>++`` tag. When browsers using the Flash plug-in load the HTML page, they read the values set on the ``++<embed>++`` tag and ignore the ``++<object>++`` tag.
