The DOM embeds collection property in HTML is used to return the collection of all embedded elements. The elements in the collection are sorted that appear in the source code. This property is used for read-only.

Syntax:

document.embeds

Property: This property contains a value length that returns the number of elements in the document.

Methods: The DOM embeds collection contains three methods which are given below:

  • [index]: It is used to return the element of the selected index. The index value starts with 0. It returns NULL if the index value is out of range.
  • item(index): It is used to return the <embed> element of selected index. The index value starts with 0. It returns NULL if the index value is out of range.
  • namedItem(id): It is used to return the <embed> element from the collection with the given id attribute. It returns NULL if the id is not valid.

Return Value: An HTMLCollection Object, representing all <embed> elements in the document. The elements in the collection are sorted as they appear in the source code

Example: This example demonstrates the use of the DOM embeds collection to get the URL for the embedded flash file.
