HTML <embed> style Attribute

HTML <em>

HTML <fieldset>

A style attribute on an <embed> tag assigns a unique style to the element.

Its value is CSS that defines the appearance of the embed element.

Example

#

A style attribute on an <embed> element.

<embed src="/img/html/vangogh-bedroom.jpg" 
       style="padding: 10px; border: 3px solid navy;">

Using style

#

The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <embed> element.

A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).

The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.

This inline styling affects the current <embed> element only.

Syntax

#

<embed style="CSS-styles">

Values

#

Value	Description
CSS-styles	One or more CSS property/value pairs separated by semicolons (;).

More Examples

#

A style attribute on an <embed> element.
Clicking the button toggles the border color.

<embed id="myembed"
       src="/img/html/vangogh-bedroom.jpg"
       style="padding: 10px; border: 3px solid navy;">

<br/><br/>
<button type="button" onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
    let element = document.getElementById("myembed");

    if (element.style.borderColor === "navy") {
       element.style.borderColor = "orchid";
    } else {
       element.style.borderColor = "navy";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a border to the <embed> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript that toggles the border color to another color.
