The <param> element

Short for ‘Parameter’. Used inside an <object> element to provide extra information to browser plugins.

This is an empty element, so it shouldn't have a closing tag.

Usage

This isn't allowed anywhere other than in <object> elements. Parameters for the <embed> element are passed in that element's attributes instead.

This is what it should look like:

<param name=movie value="game.swf">
