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

Instance properties

Inherits properties from its parent, {{domxref("HTMLElement")}}.

  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.align")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string 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".
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.archive")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string that reflects the archive HTML attribute, containing a list of archives for resources for this object.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.border")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string that reflects the border HTML attribute, specifying the width of a border around the object.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.code")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string 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.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.codeBase")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string that reflects the codebase HTML attribute, specifying the base path to use to resolve relative URIs.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.codeType")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string that reflects the codetype HTML attribute, specifying the content type of the data.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.contentDocument")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
    • : Returns a {{domxref("Document")}} representing the active document of the object element's nested browsing context, if any; otherwise null.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.contentWindow")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
    • : Returns a {{glossary("WindowProxy")}} representing the window proxy of the object element's nested browsing context, if any; otherwise null.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.data")}}
    • : Returns a string that reflects the data HTML attribute, specifying the address of a resource's data.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.declare")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A boolean value that reflects the declare HTML attribute, indicating that this is a declaration, not an instantiation, of the object.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.form")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
    • : Returns a {{domxref("HTMLFormElement")}} representing the object element's form owner, or null if there isn't one.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.height")}}
    • : Returns a string that reflects the height HTML attribute, specifying the displayed height of the resource in CSS pixels.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.hspace")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A long representing the horizontal space in pixels around the control.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.name")}}
    • : Returns a string that reflects the name HTML attribute, specifying the name of the browsing context.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.standby")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string that reflects the standby HTML attribute, specifying a message to display while the object loads.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.type")}}
    • : A string that reflects the type HTML attribute, specifying the MIME type of the resource.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.useMap")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A string that reflects the usemap HTML attribute, specifying a {{HTMLElement("map")}} element to use.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.validationMessage")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
    • : 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 (willValidate is false), or it satisfies its constraints.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.validity")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
    • : Returns a {{domxref("ValidityState")}} with the validity states that this element is in.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.vspace")}} {{deprecated_inline}}
    • : A long representing the horizontal space in pixels around the control.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.width")}}
    • : A string that reflects the width HTML attribute, specifying the displayed width of the resource in CSS pixels.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.willValidate")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}}
    • : Returns a boolean value that indicates whether the element is a candidate for constraint validation. Always false for HTMLObjectElement objects.

Instance methods

Inherits methods from its parent, {{domxref("HTMLElement")}}.

  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.checkValidity()")}}
    • : Always returns true because {{HTMLElement("object")}} elements are never candidates for constraint validation.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.getSVGDocument()")}}
    • : Returns the embedded SVG as a {{domxref("Document")}}.
  • {{domxref("HTMLObjectElement.reportValidity()")}}
    • : Always returns true because {{HTMLElement("object")}} elements are never candidates for constraint validation.
  • {{domxref("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.
