Embedding files in html

[Genome]

I'm using Arachnophilia.

I can embed a pdf file using

<center>
<embed src="pages.pdf" width=50% height=500>
</embed>
</center>

Where pages.pdf is in the same directory as the source html file.

I've tried embedding a .txt file using

<center>
<embed src="pages.txt" width=50% height=500>
</embed>
</center>

Again pages.txt is in the same directory.

Whereas the first example works and brings up the correct pdf the second
example presents a window of appropriate size with a vertical scroll bar
but the text is not visible.

I've produced the original text file using notepad. Oh yes... this is
Windows 98 with IE6.

Is what I'm trying to do valid and if so where did the text go.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Where did you come up with the <embed> tag? Use the <object> tag

Thanks for the response, I think I'll run away and hide somewhere.

Why hide? Did you even try the object tag?

I'm not too good at this..... I tried

<center>
<object classid="page.pdf width=100% hieght=500>
</object>
<p>
<object classid="page.txt" width=50% hieght=500>
</object>
</center>

and niether worked, just got the windows.

OOOOOOOOPS

Just did

<center>
<object data="page.pdf width=100% hieght=500>
</object>
<p>
<object data="page.txt" width=50% hieght=500>
</object>
</center>

Now the pdf one doesn't work but the text one does.

So, if I do

<center>
<embed src="page.pdf width=100% hieght=500>
</embed>
<p>
<object data="page.txt" width=50% hieght=500>
</object>
</center>

I can get both of them.

Excellent, OK so it's not all the way there but it works.

<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10" border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#ccccff">
<center>
<object data="page.txt" width=100% height=500>
</object>
</center>
</td>
<td bgcolor="#ccccff">
<center>
<embed src="page.pdf" width=100% height=500>
</embed>
</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Sort of gives me the effect I'm looking for.

I didn't want to waste your time with the inane questions of a novice.
