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 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 not supported in HTML 5.
The "form" attribute is new in HTML 5.
Objects can be used and submitted in forms.
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.
