The object Element - <object>

Description:
A VoiceXML implementation platform may have platform-specific functionality that an application wants to use, such as speaker verification, native components, additional telephony functionality, and so on. Such platform-specific objects are accessed using the <object> element, which is analogous to the HTML <OBJECT> element.


Example:
<object name="debit"
    classid="method://credit_card/gather_and_debit"
    data="http://www.recordings.example/prompts/credit/jesse.jar"/>
  <param name="amount" expr="document.amt"/>
  <param name="vendor" expr="vendor_num"/>
</object>


Attributes
Name Value Description
name PCDATA When the object is evaluated, it sets this variable to an ECMAScript value whose type is defined by the object.
expr PCDATA The initial value of the form item variable; default is ECMAScript undefined. If initialized to a value, then the form item will not be visited unless the form item variable is cleared.
cond boolean A boolean condition that must also evaluate to true in order for the form item to be visited.
classid URI The URI specifying the location of the object’s implementation. The URI conventions are platform-dependent.
codebase PCDATA The base path used to resolve relative URIs specified by classid, data, and archive. It defaults to the base URI of the current document.
codetype PCDATA The content type of data expected when downloading the object specified by classid. When absent it defaults to the value of the type attribute.
data URI The URI specifying the location of the object’s data. If it is a relative URI, it is interpreted relative to the codebase attribute.
type PCDATA The content type of the data specified by the data attribute.
archive URI 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.
caching 'safe' or 'fast' Eithere safe to force a query to fetch the most recent copy of the content, or fast to use the cached copy of the content if it has not expired. If not specified, a value derived from the innermost caching property is used.
fetchaudio URI The URI of the audio clip to play while the fetch is being done. If not specified, the fetchaudio property is used, and if that property is not set, no audio is played during the fetch.
fetchint "prefetch", "safe", "stream" Defines when the interpreter context should retreive content from the server. prefetch indicates a file may be downloaded when the page is loaded, whereas safe indicates a file that should only be downloaded when actually needed. In the case of a very large file (implying long download times) or a streaming audio source, stream indicates to the interpreter context to begin processing the content as it arrives and should not wait for full retrieval of the content. If not specified, a value derived from the innermost relevant *fetchint property is used.
fetchtimeout integer The interval to wait for the content to be returned before throwing an error.badfetch event. If not specified, a value derived from the innermost fetchtimeout is used.
