# Interface HTMLObjectElement

All Superinterfaces:
  `Element, HTMLElement, Node`

public interface HTMLObjectElement extends HTMLElement
Generic embedded object. Note. In principle, all properties on the object element are read-write but in some environments some properties may be read-only once the underlying object is instantiated. See the OBJECT element definition in HTML 4.0.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Specification.

Since:
  1.4, DOM Level 2
