Synopsis

<object>...</object>

A generic element used for placing an object (such as an image, applet, or media file) on a web page. The attributes required for the object element vary with the type of content it is placing. The object element may also contain a number of param elements that pass important information to the object when it displays or plays. Not all objects require additional parameters. The declare, standby, and tabindex attributes are not universally supported. Browsers vary in support of some media types placed with the object element.
