The HTML DOM Object type Property is used to set or return the value of the type attribute of an object. However, the type attribute is used to set the media type like the object.
Following is the syntax to set the type property −
obj.type = type_of_media
Above, type_of_media is the standard media type, for example, image/bmp, image/tiff, image/tff, etc.
Following is the syntax to return the type property −
obj.type

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<object id="obj" width="450" height="200"

type="application/vnd.adobe.flash-movie"></object>
<button onclick="display()">Display the media type</button>
<p id="pid"></p>
<script>
function display() {
var x = document.getElementById("obj").type;
document.getElementById("pid").innerHTML = x;
}
</script>
</body>
