I see... but you really mean you were not aware that there existed the
<img> tag for displaying images in html?

:-)
The <object> tag is mainly used to load another kind of content (java
applets, multimedia files and all kind of external/non native "plugins",
in general).
A good source for getting the basics on html and related technologies is
this site:

Yes, SVG is not well supported in many Internet Explorer versions, for
instance.

You're welcome.
Note there's a slight difference when using <object> and <img> tags.
Look, if you open the page:
http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/Category2.html#Product0x0Test0
Rigth-click over the image and choose "view image info", there's no
preliminary view, it appears to be broken. This can be good (to avoid
being scanned by bots) or bad (the web browser cannot cache the source).
