</OBJECT>

Inserts an object, such as an image, document, applet, or control, into the HTML document. An object can contain any elements ordinarily used within the body of an HTML document, including section headings, paragraphs, lists, forms, and nested objects.

The end-tag is required.

Sets the alignment for text surrounding the object. The default is LEFT.

LEFT	The object is drawn as a left-flush "floating object," and text flows around it.
TEXTTOP	Surrounding text is aligned with the top of the object.
MIDDLE	The object is drawn as a middle-centered "floating object," and text flows around it.
TEXTMIDDLE	Surrounding text is aligned with the middle of the object.
BASELINE	The object is drawn with its bottom aligned with the baseline of the continuous text.
TEXTBOTTOM	Surrounding text is aligned with the bottom of the object.
CENTER	Surrounding text is aligned with the center of the object.
RIGHT	The object is drawn as a right-flush "floating object," and text flows around it.

BORDER=n

Specifies the width of the border if the object is defined to be a hyperlink.

CLASSID=url

Identifies the object implementation. The syntax of the url depends on the object type. For example, the syntax is CLSID:class-identifier for registered ActiveX controls.

CODEBASE=url

Identifies the code base for the object. The syntax of the url depends on the object.

CODETYPE=codetype

Specifies the Internet media type for code.

DATA=url

Identifies data for the object. The syntax of the url depends on the object.

DECLARE
