<param/> Tag Syntax

Rules for coding HTML param/ elements
<body>
   ...
   ... flow content expected ...
   <object type="type/subtype" ...>
      <param name="pname" value="pvalue"/>
      ...
      ... flow content ...
   </object>
   ...
</body>

<param/> Content Model

Contents of the param element

Content: Empty. All properties are coded using attributes.

Since the <param/> tag is a void element, it is not allowed to have any content, even HTML comments and therefore should always be coded as a self-closing standalone tag, ending with the delimiter string /> rather than just > (<param .../>).
