align - This attribute specifies the
alignment of text following the OBJECT reference relative to the
object on screen. LEFT and RIGHT specify floating horizontal alignment
of the object in the browser window, and subsequent content will wrap
around the object. The other options specify vertical alignment of
text relative to the object on the same line.
border - This controls the thickness
of the border around the object (in pixels.)
classid - This attribute is a URL
indicating the implementation for the OBJECT. In some systems this is
a class identifier.
codebase - This attribute allows the
author to specify the URL of the OBJECT's implementation, which some
URL schemes require in addition to the CLASSID URL.
codetype - This attribute specifies
the MIME type of the code referenced by the CLASSID attribute in
advance of actually retrieving it. Browsers may use this value to skip
over unsupported MIME types without needing to make a network access.
data - his attribute indicates a URL
pointing to the OBJECTs data, such as a GIF file for an image. If the
CLASSID attribute is absent, the media (MIME) type of the data is used
to determine a default value for the CLASSID attribute. The
implementation is then loaded as if the CLASSID attribute had been
explicitly specified.
declare - This is a stand-alone
attribute which indicates an object that is not created or
instantiated until needed by something that references it (i.e. late
binding.) Each such "binding" typically results in a
separate copy of the object (this is class dependent.) So in such
cases, DECLARE is treated as a declaration for making an instance of
an object. See the DECLARE explanation in the OBJECT specification for
more details.
export - This is a stand-alone
attribute which allows an image map defined within this element's
content to be exported to an enclosing OBJECT element. This is only
useful when inner and outer OBJECT elements are both images and have
the same size.
height - This attribute explicitly
specifies the height of the object in pixels. It can be used to speed
up display of the document being downloaded so it can pre-render the
document with object placeholders while the object downloads.
hspace - This attribute specifies the
horizontal spacing around objects in pixels (left and right padding.)
name - This provides a way for the
object to participate in a FORM submission process. If the NAME
attribute is specified and the DECLARE attribute is absent, then the
browser should use the data obtained from the OBJECT [the method used
to obtain the data from the object is specific to each object] paired
with the NAME in the FORM submission process.
shapes - This attribute indicates the
OBJECT contains hyperlinks associated with shaped regions of the
visible area of the OBJECT. When this attribute is used, the contents
of the OBJECT element will be hyperlinks with new hybrid client-side
image mapping attributes. These are used to create a backward
compatible system for map navigation. Please see the attributes of the
Hyperlink [A HREF] element for implementation details of this
attribute.
standby - This allows you to specify a
short text string for the browser to display while it loads the
OBJECT's implementation and data. The character data can include
character entities.
tabindex - "Tabbing" is a
method of giving access/focus to an active HTML element using a
standard keyboard sequence. All the active elements in a document can
be cycled through using this sequence (ex: Windows TAB key.) The order
of the active elements in this cycle is usually the order they occur
in the document, but the TABINDEX attribute allows a different order
to be established. The use of this attribute should create the
following tabbing order cycle if the browser supports the attribute:
1.Active elements using the TABINDEX attribute with positive
integers are navigated first. Low values are navigated first.
2.Active elements not specifying any TABINDEX attribute.
Those elements carrying a DISABLED attribute or using negative
TABINDEX values do not participate in the tabbing cycle.
type - This attribute specifies the
MIME type of the data referenced in the DATA attribute in advance of
retrieving it. In the absence of the CLASSID attribute, it allows the
browser to retrieve the code implementing the OBJECT concurrently with
the data and to skip over unsupported MIME types without having to
make network accesses.
usemap - This attribute specifies the
URL (usually internal to the document) of the client-side image map
specification to be used if the browser has that capability. If the
argument to USEMAP begins with a "#" it is assumed to be in
the current dcument. Client-side coordinate mapping is done by the
browser, so is inherently faster in processing the coordinates than
the old ISMAP process for the IMG element. This attribute is usually
only used for static image OBJECTs.
vspace - This attribute specifies the
vertical spacing around objects in pixels (top and bottom padding.)
width - This attribute explicitly
specifies the width of the object in pixels. It can be used to speed
up display of the document being downloaded so it can pre-render the
document with object placeholders while the object downloads.
