The HTMLObjectElement interface provides special properties and methods (beyond those on the HTMLElement interface it also has available to it by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of <object> element, representing external resources.
HTMLObjectElement

Returns a string that reflects the
dataHTML attribute, specifying the address of a resource's data. HTMLObjectElement.declareDeprecated-
A boolean value that reflects the
declareHTML attribute, indicating that this is a declaration, not an instantiation, of the object. HTMLObjectElement.formRead only-
Returns a
HTMLFormElementrepresenting the object element's form owner, or null if there isn't one. -
HTMLObjectElement.height -
Returns a string that reflects the
heightHTML attribute, specifying the displayed height of the resource in CSS pixels. HTMLObjectElement.hspaceDeprecated-

HTMLObjectElement.name -
Returns a string that reflects the

A string that reflects the
standbyHTML attribute, specifying a message to display while the object loads. -
HTMLObjectElement.type -
A string that reflects the
typeHTML attribute, specifying the MIME type of the resource. -
HTMLObjectElement.useMap -
A string that reflects the
usemapHTML attribute, specifying a<map>element to use. HTMLObjectElement.validationMessageRead only-
Returns a string representing a localized message that describes the validation constraints that the control does not satisfy (if any). This is the empty string if the control is not a candidate for constraint validation (
willValidateisfalse), or it satisfies its constraints. HTMLObjectElement.validityRead only-
Returns a
ValidityStatewith the validity states that this element is in. HTMLObjectElement.vspaceDeprecated-
A
longrepresenting the horizontal space in pixels around the control. -
HTMLObjectElement.width -
A string that reflects the
widthHTML attribute, specifying the displayed width of the resource in CSS pixels. HTMLObjectElement.willValidateRead only-
Returns a boolean value that indicates whether the element is a candidate for constraint validation. Always
falseforHTMLObjectElementobjects.
Instance methods
Inherits methods from its parent, HTMLElement.
-
HTMLObjectElement.checkValidity() -
Returns a boolean value that always is
true, becauseobjectobjects are never candidates for constraint validation. -
HTMLObjectElement.setCustomValidity() -
Sets a custom validity message for the element. If this message is not the empty string, then the element is suffering from a custom validity error, and does not validate.
