classid Attribute

Where to use the classid Attribute

• As Type URI:
  classid is declared on the element: object

Description

The classid attribute may be specified on an object element and should contain a URI specifying the location of an implementation for the object, e.g. Java or Python applet. If this attribute is specified then so should the codetype (or type) attribute. This is so that user agents can avoid loading unsupported content types.

The classid attribute may be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, the object's data attribute, depending on the object's type.

Relative URIs are resolved with respect to the codebase attribute of the object, if it has one, and otherwise with respect to the base URI of the current document (see the base element).
