<OBJECT>

The <OBJECT> tag is currently only supported by Internet Explorer. The <OBJECT> tag provides a way for the ActiveX controls and other media to be embedded directly into HTML documents. It subsumes the role of the <IMG> element, providing an insertion mechanism for media other than static images. As far as the Internet Explorer is concerned, the <OBJECT> element (at present) is used for the inclusion of ActiveX controls.

<OL>

The Ordered List element is used to present a numbered list of items, sorted by sequence or order of importance. An ordered list must begin with the <OL> element which is immediately followed by a <LI> (list item) element:
<OL>
<LI>Click the Web button to open the Open the URL window.
<LI>Enter the URL number in the text field of the Open URL window. The Web document you specified is displayed.
<LI>Click highlighted text to move from one link to another.
</OL>
The Ordered List element can take the COMPACT attribute, which suggests that a compact rendering be used.
The average ordered list counts 1, 2, 3, ... etc. The TYPE allows different count mark types
(TYPE=A) - capital letters. e.g. A, B, C ...
(TYPE=a) - small letters. e.g. a, b, c ...
(TYPE=I) - large roman numerals. e.g. I, II, III ...
(TYPE=i) - small roman numerals. e.g. i, ii, iii ...
(TYPE=1) - or the default numbers. e.g. 1, 2, 3 ...
For lists that need to start at values other than 1 the START attribute can be used.
START is always specified in the default numbers, and will be converted based on TYPE before display. Thus START=5 would display either an 'E', 'e', 'V', 'v', or '5' based on the TYPE attribute. To give even more flexibility to lists, the TYPE attribute can be used to change the list type for the item, and all subsequent items. Also, the VALUE attribute can be used to change the count for the list item and subsequent items.

<OPTION>

The Option tag can only occur within a Select tag. It represents one choice, and can take these attributes:
DISABLED
Proposed.
SELECTED
Indicates that this option is initially selected.
VALUE
When present indicates the value to be returned if this option is chosen. The returned value defaults to the contents of the Option element. The contents of the Option tag is presented to the user to represent the option. It is used as a returned value if the VALUE attribute is not present.
