Element-Specific Attributes
name
This attribute contains the parameter's name. The name of the parameter depends
on the particular object being inserted into the page, and it is assumed that the object knows
how to handle the passed data. Do not confuse the
name
attribute for this element with the
name
attribute used for form elements. In the latter case, the
name
attribute does not have a
similar meaning to
id
, but rather specifies the name of the data to be passed to an enclosing
<object>
tag.
type
When the
valuetype
attribute is set to
ref
, the
type
attribute can be used to indicate
the type of information to be retrieved. Legal values for this attribute are in the form of
MIME types, such as
text/html
.
value
This attribute contains the parameter's value. The actual content of this attribute
depends on the object and the particular parameter being passed in, as determined by the
name
attribute.
valuetype
This attribute specifies the type of the
value
attribute being passed in. Possible
values for this attribute include
data
,
object
, and
ref
. A value of
data
specifies that the
information passed in through the
value
parameter should be treated just as data. A value
of
ref
indicates that the information being passed in is a URL that indicates where the data
to be used is located. The information is not retrieved, but the URL is passed to the object,
which then can retrieve the information if necessary. The last value,
object
, indicates that
the value being passed in is the name of an object as set by its
id
attribute. In practice, the
data
attribute is used by default.
