Definitions and usages

HTML5 - the tag defines an embedded object. U se this element to add multimedia to your XHTML page. This element runs the data and parameters that you specify for objects inserted into HTML documents, as well as code that you can use to display and manipulate data.

The difference between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

Some properties in HTML 4.01 are no longer supported.

In HTML5, objects can be submitted in the form form.

In HTML5, objects no longer appear in the element area.

Tips and comments

Note: The object element can be inside between the head element or the body element. T he text between slt;object and slt;/object is a replacement text for browsers that do not support this label. The label defines the run-time setting for the object.

Tip: For images, use the hashtag instead of the label.

Tip: At least one of the "data" and "type" properties must be defined.
