Embedding A Fractal Image Format File in HTML

Here's how to embed a Fractal Image Format file in HTML.

1. Start with the opening tag <embed src= in front of the file name.

2. Put the Fractal Image Format file name you want displayed after the tag. There is no space between the tag and the file name.

3. Specify the width and height of the image. Without it, the image will not display.

4. To finish the command, several optional keyword features are available.

This is the command that displayed the eagle above: <EMBED SRC="eagle.fif" width=150 height=100 STEP3>
