<object type="text/html"> finding value of <param>'s

[nonsensep]

Say I have the following code in index.html:

<object type="text/html" data="example">
   <param name="first" value="andrew" />
</object>

(example could be any HTML file such as .PHP, .HTML, .CGI, etc.)

How can I get the param name's value within the file example? Whether it's using HTML/Javascript, PHP, Perl, etc. I want to know if it's possible. Please don't say use the GET method.

Don't think its possible. Params have to be implicitly accepted by the object being called.

I'm going to try to build a web app either in PHP or Perl, and it would be really convienient to get the value of <param>'s.

Then is there anyway to send POST data to a page automatically without the user filling out a form, then? like a page within <object type="text/html">?
