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.
