Syntax
Description
An
object doesn’t require a width attribute but, like
the height attribute, it has its
uses (refer to the advantages set out in the height
attribute reference).
If the
width attribute is set by itself, but no
height attribute is set, the object will be
rescaled proportionally (assuming that object is a simple image).
In every other respect, the width attribute
is identical in usage and behavior to the height
attribute.
Example
Here, the
width attribute is set to
"200":
<object data="giant-dog.jpg" height="100" width="200"> </object>
Value
This attribute takes as its value a number representing the width of the object in pixels.

This
attribute’s compatibility is dependent on the type of object to which it’s
applied. For objects of type image, excellent
cross-browser support is provided for the height
attribute.
