VALUETYPE — NN n/a IE n/a HTML 4
Synopsis
VALUETYPE=”paramValueType"Optional
OBJECT element parameters can come in three
flavors: data, object, and
ref. The VALUETYPE attribute
uses these constants to tell the browser how to treat the value
assigned to the VALUE attribute for passing to the
object. When the VALUETYPE is
data, the VALUE attribute is
passed as a plain text string. A VALUETYPE of
object means that the VALUE
attribute consists of an identifier to some other
OBJECT element defined earlier in the same
document. The other object may be one whose
DECLARE attribute is set, and now the parameter
values are being passed to instantiate the object. When
VALUETYPE is ref, the
VALUE attribute is a URL that points to a file or
other resource where run-time values are stored (perhaps a set of
parameter values).
Example
<PARAM NAME="anime" VALUE="http://www.giantco.com/params/animation.txt" VALUETYPE="ref" TYPE="text/html">
