Name

param — <param />

Supplies a parameter within an applet or object element. A parameter is information required by the applet or media object at runtime.

Attributes

id="text"

Provides a name (similar to the name attribute) so that it can be referenced from a link, script, or stylesheet. It is more versatile than name, but it is not as universally supported.

name="text"

Required. Defines the name of the parameter.

type="content type"

Specifies the media type of the resource only when the valuetype attribute is set to ref . It describes the types of values found at the referred location.

value="text"

Defines the value of the parameter.

valuetype="data|ref|object"

Indicates the type of value: data indicates that the parameter’s value is data (default); ref indicates that the parameter’s value is a URL; object indicates that the value is the URL of another object in the document.

Example
