This is an object representing an <OBJECT> HTML tag.
The <OBJECT> tag is a block-level tag. That means that it forces a line break before and after itself.
This object is specific to the MSIE browser when it runs on the Windows operating system. No other browser supports ActiveX as well as MSIE and no other operating system properly or completely supports the ActiveX infrastructure.
The events handled, and the properties and the methods of this object will depend on the kind of ActiveX object that is created.
The DOM level 1 specification refers to this as an ObjectElement object.
Be very careful not to confuse this object with the generic top level core Object object that is the super-class of all objects in the interpreter.
This is the object that MSIE instantiates to represent an <OBJECT> tag. MSIE creates OBJECT objects for that purpose but also supports Object objects. For this reason, it may be the case that interpreters cannot become case-insensitive when matching class names. If they did, then it would be impossible to distinguish between Object and OBJECT class names.
Creating an OBJECT class when an Object class already exists must have been a moment of insanity in an otherwise mostly excellent browser implementation project.
