HTML DOM Object type Property


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.

obj.type
