Creating and Using Objects
n To use the objectTag() function to return an HTML tag and a variable, use quotes around
each string literal (but not around the variable), and join the two with a plus sign. For example,
the following objectTag() function code inserts
in the
current cursor position:
nada = ???images/whatzit.gif???
return ???
???;
n To make an object that returns separate lines of code, put each tag on its own line with the symbol
for a newline, \n, at the end of the string, surrounded by quotes; then add a plus sign at the
end of the line. For example, the following objectTag() function inserts a Flash movie of a
particular size and shape:
function objectTag() {
// Return the html tag that should be inserted
return ???\n??™ +;
