Takeaways

• 😀 The `<object>` tag in HTML is used to embed various types of external content, such as PDFs and websites, into a webpage.
• 😀 The `data` attribute in the `<object>` tag specifies the source URL of the content to be embedded (e.g., a PDF file).
• 😀 The `type` attribute in the `<object>` tag defines the MIME type of the content (e.g., `application/pdf` for PDF files).
• 😀 You can customize the display of embedded content by adjusting attributes like `width` and `height` to control the size of the embedded object.
• 😀 A fallback message can be provided within the `<object>` tag for users whose browsers do not support the displayed content (e.g., PDF).
• 😀 The fallback message appears only if the user's browser cannot render the embedded content, such as a PDF file or external site.
• 😀 In case of unsupported content, an alternative action, like providing a download link, can be set up using the `<a>` tag with the `href` attribute pointing to the file's URL.
• 😀 To test the feedback feature, you can simulate an error by using an incorrect file path or file type (e.g., renaming the PDF file).
• 😀 The `<object>` tag can also be used to embed entire websites by linking to the desired URL within the `data` attribute.
• 😀 For better layout control, line breaks (`<br>`) and other HTML elements can be used to adjust the positioning of embedded objects on the page.
