Go to Exercise page

Solution :

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Declares the document type and version of HTML -->
<html><!-- Begins the HTML document -->
<head><!-- Contains metadata about the document -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Specifies the character encoding of the document -->
<title>  How to specify the media type of data specified in the data attribute</title><!-- Sets the title of the document -->
</head><!-- Ends the head section -->
<body><!-- Contains the content of the document -->
Object Type <!-- Displays text indicating the type of object -->
<object data="https://www.w3resource.com/html-css-exercise/basic/solution/php-demo1.mp4" type="video/mp4"><!-- Defines an embedded object with a specified data source (URL of a video file) and media type -->
</object><!-- Ends the object element -->
</body><!-- Ends the body section -->
</html><!-- Ends the HTML document -->

Explanation:

  • The HTML document starts with a declaration of its type and version (<!DOCTYPE html>).
  • The <html> element encloses the entire HTML document.
  • The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and title.
  • The <meta charset="utf-8"> tag specifies the character encoding of the document as UTF-8.
  • The <title> tag sets the title of the document.
  • Inside the <body> section, the text "Object Type" is displayed, indicating the type of object.
  • An <object> element is used to define an embedded object with a specified data source (URL of a video file) and media type (video/mp4).
  • The HTML document is properly closed with the </html> tag.
