Syntax
Description
By
default, an object will not have a border around it.
The border attribute rectifies this, allowing you
to set a border with a width specified in pixels. Depending on the
browser, the border will either be black, or will match the color of the
text
attribute of the body element. An
example is shown in Figure 1.
Example
This
border attribute is set to
"10":
<object data="giant-dog.jpg" border="10"></object>
Value
This attribute takes a number representing the width of the border in pixels.

This attribute is poorly supported and highly presentational. CSS should be used to control appearance instead.
