Object tag

[Mina Daoud]

Hi Guys,

I have a question regarding the <object> tag. I was wondering how this tag is working, beside loading media files?! I was reading an article and it was mentioned that I can use some attributes (codebase,classid) to import some classes?! Can you please guide me to a nice document which explain this tag? I checked some websites but all resources i found was a bit ambiguous (at least for my knowledge).

Thanks,

It can be used to embed even Java Applets, ActiveX, PDF etc... You may read this

Yea i tried the object element to add Applet, pdf, and images. per W3C they want people to use the object tag to include any media files. But when i was reading they were speaking about including classes, i got confused because of the expression "classes" as i thought i can include normal Java classes (not applet) to do some functionality!
