HTML <object> tag
Example
Add an object to an HTML page:
|
<object classid="clsid:F08DF954-8592-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628"
id="Slider1" width="100" height="50">
<param name="BorderStyle" value="1" />
<param name="MousePointer" value="0" />
<param name="Enabled" value="1" />
<param name="Min" value="0" />
<param name="Max" value="10" />
</object>

Definition and Usage
The <object> tag is used to include objects such as images, audio, videos,
Java applets, ActiveX, PDF, and Flash.
The object element was intended to replace the img and applet elements.
However, because of bugs and a lack of browser support this has not happened.
The object support in browsers depend on the object type. Unfortunately, the
major browsers use different codes to load
the same object type.
Luckily, the object element provides a solution. If the object element is not displayed, the code between the <object> and </object> tags will be
executed. This way we can have several nested object elements (one for
each browser).
Browser Support
The <object> tag is partially supported in all major browsers.

Tips and Notes
Note: The <param>
tags define run-time settings for the object.
Important: Do not use the <object> tag for images, use the <img>
tag instead!
