ALIGN=ABSBOTTOM | ABSMIDDLE | BASELINE | BOTTOM | LEFT | MIDDLE | RIGHT | TEXTTOP | TOP Specifies the alignment for the control-like element.
CLASS=classname Specifies the class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a sub-classed style sheet with the tag.
CLASSID=id Identifies the object implementation. For example, the syntax is CLSID:class-identifier for registered ActiveX controls.
CODE=url The name of the file containing the compiled Java class.
CODEBASE=url Specifies a URL referencing where to find the implementation of the object.

HEIGHT=n Along with WIDTH, specifies the size at which the element is drawn. This attribute may be initially set in pixels or percentages.
ID=value An SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underbar character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position.
