There is at No. Reason 1: <object classid="java:MyJavaClass"></object> is used for Java. ( Although I'd love to have <object type="application/java" data="file.class"></object> work, but ...) Reason 2: You might want to load a plugin like this: <object type="application/x-mplayer2"></object> and later use scripting to tell the plugin to get the resource. If the data attribute is required, you'd be forced to load a resource that you didn't want to. Reason 3: The tcl plugin <http://www.tcl.tk/software/plugin/> suports inline scripts via a script param and things like the following need to work with the data attribute. <object type="application/x-tcl"> <param name="script" value="script content"> </object> -- burnout426
