HTML <param> Tag

Description

The <param> HTML element is intended for passing parameter values to Java applets or web page objects created using the <applet> or <object> elements. This approach allows you to directly change the characteristics of the object directly in the HTML document code without additional compilation. The number of simultaneously used <param> elements can be more than one, and for each of them a "name = value" pair is specified through the name and value attributes.

Properties

Permitted Parents: An <object> before any flow content
Content: None. It is an empty element.
Start/End Tags: Start tag: required, End tag: forbidden

<object title="Elevator" classid="elevator.class">
