Yes — that’s exactly right, and your summary is a perfect simple way to remember it.
Here’s a clean version with clarifications:
Embedding PDFs or Audio (Google Drive)
<iframe src="URL/preview" width="100%" height="____"></iframe>
Where:
URL→ the Google Drive link up to/view(remove everything from?onwards)/preview→ required to make it display in the iframewidth="100%"→ usually full page widthheight="____"→ pixels, depending on content:- Audio: 60–100
- PDF: 400–700
✅ Example: PDF
<iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/preview" width="100%" height="600"></iframe>
✅ Example: Audio
<iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/preview" width="100%" height="80"></iframe>
Quick memory trick
iframe= boxsrc= what to show/preview= needed for Drive- height = enough room for content
If you want, I can make a tiny visual cheat sheet showing PDF vs Audio embed in one table, so it’s super easy to copy-paste. Do you want me to do that?

From Dec 2025 onwards
The New UI (User Interface) no longer showing up OPEN IN NEW WINDOW. Have to use following complicated steps from Dec 2025 onwards
Use ChatGPT to help to embed the code
In the event that the following didn't work
Open the pdf file in Google drive (preview mode) - Share - Copy Link - Launch ChatGPT - Paste into Link into chatGPT - TYPE get the embedded code for me
Or
Do the Embedding code yourself
On the pdf file name you want, on the far right, 3 dots menu - click on it - Share - Right arrow - Copy Link, it should look something like this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6bV62zmabZ9oZnWNLyfN8aX2BVRh0nR/view?usp=drive_link
Replace: /view?usp=drive_link
With: /preview:
Result Link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6bV62zmabZ9oZnWNLyfN8aX2BVRh0nR/preview:
Sample Template of embedded iframe:
<iframe src="PDF_LINK_HERE" width="100%" height="700px"></iframe>
Copy the Result Link to Replace the "PDF_LINK_HERE"
Final Embedded code
<iframe src= https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6bV62zmabZ9oZnWNLyfN8aX2BVRh0nR/preview:

What src stand for in HTML code?
In HTML, src stands for “source”.
What it means
src specifies the source URL or file location of the content that an element needs to load.
Source + URL (location of the file in Google drive). Ignore the open quote and close quote often used in the example
After any command word, there should not be open and close quote
Example
src="photo.jpg"It meansSrc=URL(where is the source location of the file to be loaded)Common examples
Image
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="My photo">photo.jpg is not the file name, it is the URL (file location in Google drive)My photo: is just a suggested text that you can replace it with any text you wish to type in, it will not show up unless image failed to be loaded.<img src=URL alt="______">
Where: URL → the file location link (where the image is stored) ______ → the alternative text (words of your choice that describe the image)
➡️ The browser loads photo.jpg as the image source.
Audio
<audio controls>
<source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>Unfortunately, <audio controls> </audio> cannot accept link from google drive. So it is better to use the <iframe> method as described above
➡️ src points to the audio file.
Video
<video controls src="movie.mp4"></video>
Script (JavaScript)
<script src="app.js"></script>
➡️ Loads an external JavaScript file.
Iframe
<iframe src="https://example.com"></iframe>WWhen iframe is used, since it is a frame, must provide width and height➡️ Loads another webpage inside the frame.
In simple terms
srctells the browser: “Get the content from here.”
If you want, I can also explain the difference between src vs href, which often confuses people.
For image, must it end with alt="My photo">
What does alt stands for
Good question 👍
1. Is alt="My photo" required for images?
No, it is not strictly required for the image to load, but it is strongly recommended.
<img src="photo.jpg">
✔️ This will still display the image.
However, best practice is:
<img src="photo.jpg" alt="My photo">
2. What does alt stand for?
alt = “alternative text”
It provides a text alternative to the image.
3. Why alt is important
✅ If the image fails to load
The text in alt will be shown instead.
✅ For screen readers (accessibility)
Visually impaired users rely on alt text to understand what the image represents.
✅ For SEO (search engines)
Search engines cannot “see” images; alt text helps them understand the image content.
4. When to use alt and how
Informative image
<img src="church.jpg" alt="Church building during Christmas service">
Decorative image (no meaning)
<img src="divider.png" alt="">
(Empty alt tells screen readers to skip it.)
Simple summary
src= where the image comes fromalt= text replacement if the image cannot be seen
If you want, I can also explain when NOT to use alt text or how to write good alt descriptions.
