I was looking for a way to load the html document into a string that was defined in a container style html file which would replace all the object tags with empty object tags and load the page this way, then after the page is loaded, it would replace the objects with their true content, however, I wasn't able to find a technique to get an external html document to load as a string or just a passive kind of document object. The closest thing I could find was loading the document as an XML file, but this does not work since documents have non compliant syntax. I'm not too familiar with the limitations of Javascript so some of my ideas may seem a bit far fetched...
Another idea I had was to write the document before it was loaded with blank object tags, then rewrite it after it loaded with the original content, however, I don't think this makes very much sense since the actual document may just load after the write() invocation. It may be that I can't even grab the documents objects until they've loaded, or that write() can only be used after the document has loaded. I don't know the facts about either of these conditions. These are all attempts to solve the double loading problem. The idea was to have the user replace their original document with this other document and rename the original document with a special extension the other document would load in as a string. This would make it easier to pacify the patent. M.
