HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
data
This attribute contains a URL for data required by an object.
declare
This attribute declares an object without instantiating it. This is useful when the
object will be a parameter to another object. In traditional HTML, this attribute takes no
value; under XHTML, set it equal to
declare
.
name
Under the older forms of HTML, this attribute defines the name of the control so
that scripting can access it. The
id
attribute should be used if possible.
standby
This attribute contains a text message to be displayed while the object is loading.
type
This attribute specifies the MIME type for the object's data. This is different from
codetype
, which is the MIME type of the object and not of the data it uses.
usemap
This attribute contains the URL of the image map to be used with the object.
Typically, the URL will be a fragment identifier referencing a
map
element somewhere else
within the file. The presence of this attribute indicates that the type of object being included
is an image.
vspace
This attribute indicates the vertical space, in pixels or as a percentage, between the
object and surrounding text.
