<PARAM>

The param object is used for passing parameters to objects. Objects (created by using the OBJECT element) include Active X objects (COM+) and Java applets.

All parameters are passed as name/value pairs. Both the name and value are defined by attributes within the element. A closing tag for this element is not allowed.
