HTML <object> Tag
Description
The <object> HTML element tells the browser how to load and display objects that the browser does not understand initially. Typically, such objects require a special module called a plug-in to connect to the browser, or the launch of an auxiliary program.
Additionally, the <param> element can be placed inside the <object> container, which passes additional parameters for displaying the object.
