HTML object Tag

The HTML object tag is used for embedding an object within an HTML document. Use this tag to embed multimedia in your web pages.

Example


<object title="Woofer dog." classid="wooferDog.class">
  <!-- If the applet didn't work, try the image file -->
  <object data="wooferDog.gif" type="image/gif">
  <!-- If the image didn't work, display the text -->
  Woofer dog.
  </object>
</object>

In this example, if the applet can't be loaded, it will attempt to load the file specified next (the image file). If that can't be loaded, it will display the text specified next.
