param elementobject element, before any flow content.namevalue
interface HTMLParamElement : HTMLElement {
attribute DOMString name;
attribute DOMString value;
};
The param element defines parameters for
plugins invoked by object elements. It does not represent anything on its own.
The name attribute gives the name
of the parameter.
The value attribute gives the
value of the parameter.
Both attributes must be present. They may have any value.
The following example shows how the param element can be used to pass a
parameter to a plugin, in this case the O3D plugin.
