Variables

`align:String`

Is a DOMString representing an enumerated property indicating alignment of the element's contents with respect to the surrounding context. The possible values are "left", "right", "justify", and "center".

`archive:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the archive HTML attribute, containing a list of archives for resources for this object.

`border:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the border HTML attribute, specifying the width of a border around the object.

`code:String`

Is a DOMString representing the name of an applet class file, containing either the applet's subclass, or the path to get to the class, including the class file itself.

`codeBase:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the codebase HTML attribute, specifying the base path to use to resolve relative URIs.

`codeType:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the codetype HTML attribute, specifying the content type of the data.

`read onlycontentDocument:HTMLDocument`

Returns a Document representing the active document of the object element's nested browsing context, if any; otherwise null.

`read onlycontentWindow:Window`

Returns a WindowProxy representing the window proxy of the object element's nested browsing context, if any; otherwise null.

`data:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the data HTML attribute, specifying the address of a resource's data.

`declare:Bool`

Is a Boolean that reflects the declare HTML attribute, indicating that this is a declaration, not an instantiation, of the object.

`read onlyform:FormElement`

Retuns a HTMLFormElement representing the object element's form owner, or null if there isn't one.

`height:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the height HTML attribute, specifying the displayed height of the resource in CSS pixels.

`hspace:Int`

Is a long representing the horizontal space in pixels around the control.

`name:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the name HTML attribute, specifying the name of the browsing context.

`standby:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the standby HTML attribute, specifying a message to display while the object loads.

`type:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the type HTML attribute, specifying the MIME type of the resource.

`typeMustMatch:Bool`

Is a Boolean that reflects the typeMustMatch HTML attribute, indicating if the resource specified by data must only be played if it matches the type attribute.

`useMap:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the usemap HTML attribute, specifying a map element to use.

`read onlyvalidationMessage:String`

Returns a DOMString 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 (willValidate is false), or it satisfies its constraints.

`read onlyvalidity:ValidityState`

Returns a ValidityState with the validity states that this element is in.

`vspace:Int`

Is a long representing the horizontal space in pixels around the control.

`width:String`

Is a DOMString that reflects the width HTML attribute, specifying the displayed width of the resource in CSS pixels.

`read onlywillValidate:Bool`

Returns a Boolean that indicates whether the element is a candidate for constraint validation. Always false for HTMLObjectElement objects.

Methods

`checkValidity():Bool`

Retuns a Boolean that always is true, because object objects are never candidates for constraint validation.

`getSVGDocument():HTMLDocument`

`reportValidity():Bool`

`setCustomValidity(error:String):Void`

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.
