The W3Schools article is a little out of date. An embed tag is no longer the preferred way to display a plugin, nor is it even required for modern browsers (read: browsers released after Netscape 4.x). If you must support NS4 or similar old browsers, use an embed within an object like it says. If not, simply use an object element. NS4 had an approximate market share of less than 1% 4 years ago, so it's highly likely that virtually no one uses it today at all.
