Remarks

MIME is an abbreviation for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension, and is a set of enhancements used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Used together, MIME and SMTP allow Internet messages to include a mixture of audio, images, video, and text components, and accommodate a variety of international character sets.

When no IHTMLObjectElement::classid attribute is specified for an object, the IHTMLObjectElement::type property is used to retrieve the class identifier for the object.

In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, This property now applies to the a, link, and script objects.
