Support was also added for images referenced via the new HTML OBJECT tag. But the basic lack of a connection between plug-ins and the native IMG-tag code persisted, and this barrier extended to the new OBJECT-handling code as well--even a JPEG or GIF image in an OBJECT tag would fail unless an appropriate plug-in were found. Should the outer OBJECT happen to be a PNG, Navigator would fail to render even the inner GIF or JPEG in the absence of a PNG plug-in. Unlike IMG tags, Navigator required OBJECT tags to include the otherwise optional HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes to invoke a plug-in.
