HTML 5 <object> tag

Definition and Usage

Defines an embedded object. Use this element to add multimedia to your HTML page. This element allows you to specify the data and parameters for objects inserted into HTML documents, and the code that can be used to display/manipulate that data.

Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

Some HTML 4.01 attributes are no longer supported.

Tips and Notes

Note: An object element can appear inside the head or the body element. The text between the <object> and </object> is the alternate text, for browsers that do not support this tag. The <param> tags define run-time settings for the object.

Tip: For images use the <img> tag instead of the <object> tag.

Tip: At least one of the "data" and "type" attributes MUST be defined.
