The <object> element requires the following attributes to work properly:

• A type attribute that tells the browser what content media (MIME) type will be displayed. (“application/pdf”, “application/x-java-applet”, “audio/mp4”, etc.)
• A data attribute that contains the URL to the resource being used.

This element may contain zero or more <param> elements to pass parameters on to the resource it is displaying:

<object type="MIME type" data="URL of resource">
  <param name="parameter name" value="parameter value" />
</object>
