HTML <object> Tag

<object type="video/quicktime" data="/resources/sample.mov" width="350" height="95"></object>

<p>Click and drag...</p>

The above example demonstrates usage of the <object> element.

The <object> element is used to embed an external resource into the page. This external resource, depending on its type, will be treated as either, an image, a nested browsing context, or as an external resource to be processed by a plugin.

If the type attribute is included, it must contain a valid MIME type.

You can also use the (optional) width and height attributes to specify the dimensions of the object.
