It allows alternatives for browsers that don't understand the object type, a data: URL for embedding the object's data directly, and other gadgets: <object data="data:application/x-bobscript, RunMyNiftyAnimationHere(); Result = PopupDialog(%22Wasn't that nifty?%22); if (Result == NO) then EraseUsersHardDisk(); "> Hey! Your browser doesn't support BobScript! You're obviously an inferior person because you didn't buy the same $50 browser I bought. </object>
