DECLARE — NN n/a IE n/a HTML 4

Synopsis

DECLARE

Optional

The presence of the DECLARE attribute instructs the browser to regard the current OBJECT element as a declaration only, without instantiating the object. A browser may use this opportunity to precache data that does not require the object being loaded or run. Another OBJECT element pointing to the same CLASSID and/or DATA attribute values, but without the DECLARE attribute, gets the object running.

Example

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:83A38BF0-B33A-A4FF-C619A82E891D"  DECLARE>
</OBJECT>

Value

The presence of the attribute sets it to true.

Default

false
