This element does not require a closing tag.
Example
This example displays the Windows Internet Explorer Data Binding component's outerHTML so you can view the properties assigned by the PARAM elements. You can perform this check to gather information when debugging an OBJECT element's properties. You cannot edit the object's outerHTML property without reintializing the outerHTML object.
// The OBJECT CLASSID below is for the
// Microsoft Internet Explorer Data Binding component
// Use just the following HTML and press the button
<OBJECT
ID=tdcContents
CLASSID="clsid:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83">
<PARAM NAME="DataURL" VALUE="DataBinding.csv">
</OBJECT>
<BUTTON >
Show Object outerHTML</BUTTON><BR/>
<TEXTAREA ID="oTxt" STYLE="height:400; width:450;padding:3; overflow=auto;"> </TEXTAREA>
