Remarks

The value of the IHTMLEmbedElement2::src attribute of the img and input type=image elements depends on the context of the reference to the attribute. When read as a Document Object Model (DOM) attribute, IHTMLEmbedElement2::src returns a URL relative to the hosting domain. The value specified by the page author is returned when IHTMLEmbedElement2::src is read as a content attribute, when the page is displayed in an earlier document compatibility mode.

Windows Internet Explorer 8 or later. In IE8 Standards mode, the value of the IHTMLEmbedElement2::src attribute of the img and input type=image elements depends on the context of the reference to the attribute. When read as a DOM attribute, IHTMLEmbedElement2::src returns a URL relative to the domain hosting the Web page. The value specified by the page author is returned when IHTMLEmbedElement2::src is read as a content attribute, when the page is displayed in an earlier document compatibility mode, or when the page is viewed with an earlier version of the browser.
