public class ObjectElement

extends SinglePartElement

An ObjectElement, introduced in HTML 4.0, provides a generic method for including various resources in a document, including images, applets, files, and image maps.

ObjectElements may be nested; that is, the contents of an ObjectElement may be another ObjectElement. If the user agent cannot render the outermost ObjectElement, it tries to render the contents of the ObjectElement, which may be a string (like the ALT tag in previous versions of HTML) or another ObjectElement.

Initialization parameters for an ObjectElement are provided with ParamElements.

Other attributes valid for an ObjectElement that can be set with methods from the superclass are: style, mouse and keyboard actions.

Note that not all browsers may parse the ObjectElement properly.

public ObjectElement setContent(java.lang.String alt)

Sets the contents of an ObjectElement to a string.

Returns:

ObjectElement

setContent

public ObjectElement setContent(ObjectElement oe)

Sets the contents of an ObjectElement to another ObjectElement.

ObjectElement

addParam

public ObjectElement addParam(ParamElement pe)

Adds a ParamElement to an ObjectElement.

setCodebase

public ObjectElement setCodebase(java.lang.String url)

Sets the CODEBASE, which specifies the base path used to resolve relative URLs described by the CLASSID attribute.

Returns:

ObjectElement

setClassid

public ObjectElement setClassid(java.lang.String url)

Sets the CLASSID, or the URL for the rendering mechanism. The HTML spec recommends that CODETYPE is also set whenever CLASSID is specified since it allows the user agent to avoid loading information for unsupported media types.

Returns:

ObjectElement

See Also:

setCodetype(weblogic.html.MimeType)

setCodetype

public ObjectElement setCodetype(MimeType mt)

Sets the CODETYPE to a MimeType, which specifies the Internet Media Type of the data that should be expected by the rendering mechanism specified by the CLASSID attribute. It is optional but recommended whenever CLASSID is used since it allows the user agent to avoid loading information for unsupported media types. If no explicit value is given for this attribute, it defaults to the value set with setType.

Parameters:

mime - MimeType

Returns:

ObjectElement

See Also:

setClassid(java.lang.String)

setData

public ObjectElement setData(java.lang.String url)
