The object Element
According to the HTML 4.01 Recommendation, the object element is an all-purpose object-placer.
It can be used to place a variety of object types on a web page,
including applets, movies, interactive objects (Flash), and even plain
old images. As of this writing, browser support does not quite fulfill

reliably as a replacement for the img
element), however, the object element
is still used for a wide range of embedded media .
