If we're not actively developing edbrowse, we fall behind,
and I have to admit that's pretty discouraging.
I stumbled upon this link quite by accident.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html
html4 has new ways, through the <object> tag,
to put in images, including clickable images, which are essentially
hyperlinks and should not be ignored,
and music and videos and well almost anything,
into the html document,
and also into the javascript tree I'm sure,
and yet I barely recognize the <object> tag at all,
and I'm sure I don't do anything with it.
So this is a heads up, someone, maybe me if I have time
amongst crashing computers and other projects,
needs to look at the type attribute,
and pretend like <object is <img or <music or <iframe
or whatever the case may be, and act accordingly,
as per that chunk of code that is already somewhere in html.cpp,
and almost certainly not in its own stand alone function, as it should be.
And also put stuff in the js tree, but not sure how that is done.
If the type is image, does this also go in the array of images
across the entire page, or not, because it is an object tag.
Lots to learn here.
