<p>The <strong><code>HTMLEmbedElement</code></strong> interface, which provides special properties (beyond the regular <a href="/en-US/docs/DOM/element" rel="internal">element</a> object interface they also have available to them by inheritance) for manipulating <code>embed</code> elements.</p>
<div class="note">
  <p>This topic describes the <code><span class="external">HTMLEmbedElement</span></code> interface as defined in the standard. It does not address earlier, non-standardized version of the interface.</p>
