Re: [WSG] braindead - iframes???
Umm, sorry Bert, Kenny's right. Totally unpredictable behavious of the object tag in IE6. Sometimes won't load, sometimes throws up a script error, and any JavaScript that I have can't talk to it. :o( Any other suggestions?

Re: [WSG] braindead - iframes???
There's only one way I can think of making it work in IE: Use PHP to copy the external page to a local files(s), and use object to load it. IE doesn't seem to have a problem with local html files. Not sure about scripting support for it tho. This is the only situation when I don't use XHTML. Good luck. hehe
Re: [WSG] braindead - iframes???
G'day
What's out there that displays the contents of a URI and validates?
object type=text/html data=whatever.html id=Something
Alternative content here
/object
Give the object a width and height with CSS
#Something { width: 40em; height: 30em; }
Regards

Re: [WSG] braindead - iframes???
Objects of type text/html (or application/xhtml+xml) are what I use. But good luck getting them to work in IE. In my experience, IE will only do it if it's a local (x)html file.
