Syntax
type="MIME type"
Description
The
type attribute lets the author define the MIME type of the applet or
object content. In many cases, though, this attribute
is not required, as the browser can determine the MIME type on the basis
of the URL or the header sent by the server for the embedded content.
Example
This code shows a
param element whose type is set
to "video/mp4":
<param type="video/mp4"/>
Value
This attribute takes a MIME type in
the format type/subtype, for instance, "text/html", or
"application/x-shockwave-flash", or
"video/mp4".
