<object> Tag in HTML

The <object> tag in HTML is used to embed multimedia files, such as PDFs, videos, audio files, and other web applications into a webpage. It allows for flexible handling of external resources.

Key Points on <object> Tag:

• The <object> tag can embed multimedia files or other web applications.
• The data attribute specifies the URL of the resource to be embedded.
• The type attribute defines the media type of the embedded file.
• The width and height attributes set the dimensions of the embedded resource.
• If the browser does not support the embedded resource, content between the <object> tags is displayed instead.

Syntax of <object> Tag:

<object data="URL" type="media_type" width="width" height="height">
            Alternate content for unsupported browsers
        </object>

Example of <object> Tag in HTML:

This example demonstrates how to embed a PDF file using the <object> tag.

        <object data="sample.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="600" height="400">
            Your browser does not support PDFs. Please download the PDF to view it: 
                <a href="sample.pdf">Download PDF</a>.
        
        </object>
                

Using <object> Tag for Embedding a Video:

This example shows how to embed a video file using the <object> tag.

        <object data="sample.mp4" type="video/mp4" width="640" height="360">
            Your browser does not support the video tag. 
                <a href="sample.mp4">Download the video</a>.
            
        </object>
                

The <object> tag is highly versatile for embedding various types of multimedia and web applications directly into a webpage. It provides an alternative display option if the resource is unsupported by the browser.
