<object>

Description

Allows interaction with a custom extension.  A VoiceXML platform may have platform-specific functionality that an application wants to use, such as speaker verification, native components, additional telephony, etc.  Such platform-specific objects are accessed using the <object> element, which is analogous to the HTML <OBJECT> element.

Attributes

Attribute

Description

name

The name of this object. This variable can be referenced anywhere within the object's form. Optional. (Defaults to an inaccessible internal variable.)

expr

An ECMAScript expression to be evaluated and used as the initial value of this object. This object will be visited only if the expression evaluates to undefined. Optional. (Defaults to undefined.)

cond

An ECMAScript expression to be evaluated and used as a boolean condition. This object will be visited only if the expression evaluates to true. Optional. (Defaults to true.)

classid

The URI specifying the location of the object's implementation. Optional.

codebase

The base path used to resolve relative URIs specified by classid, data, and archive. Optional. (Defaults to base URI of current document.)

codetype

The content type of data expected when downloading the object specified by classid. Optional. (Defaults to the value of the type attribute.)

data

The URI specifying the location of the object's data. If it is a relative URI, it is interpreted relative to the codebase attribute. Optional.

type

The content type of the data specified by the data attribute. Optional.

archive

A space-separated list of URIs for archives containing resources relevant to the object, which may include the resources specified by the classid and data attributes. URIs which are relative are interpreted relative to the codebase attribute. Optional.

fetchhint

Defines when the object should be fetched. Optional.

  • prefetch - object may be downloaded when the page is loaded
  • safe - only load the object when needed

Overrides the value of the objectfetchhint property.

fetchtimeout

The length of time to wait for the object to be fetched before throwing an error.badfetch event. Optional.

Overrides the value of the fetchtimeout property.

maxage

Indicates that this document is willing to use a cached copy of the object only while the age of the cached copy is less than or equal to the number of seconds specified by this attribute. Optional.

Overrides the value of the objectmaxage property.
