Object HTML tag not working

Question

I am trying to embed a PDF on a web page, but it isn't showing up. This is the code:

<object type="application/pdf" data="http://www.sunshinesam.com/v/vspfiles/downloadables/Father'sDayPrintable2015.pdf" height="600" width="400">Father's Day Printable 2015</object>

What do I need to change to make it work? Thanks!

A pure, non-javascript way to this would be to do exactly what you're doing now, but add a link. Some thing like

    <object data="myfile.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%">
  <p>Alternative text - include a link <a href="myfile.pdf">to the PDF!</a></p>
</object>

This doesn't work. I don't want a link to the PDF -- I want to embed it. – jodybethw Jun 12 '15 at 18:08
