Hello,

I have a circumstance where compliance issues prevent me from being
able to use an iFrame or JavaScript, but I need to display embedded
content from another website in the page I'm writing. Using a simple
object tag, it works beautifully in Firefox/Chrome/Safari, but nothing
shows up in IE. If anyone can help me solve this, I'll be extremely
grateful! Here is my object tag:

Open to any and all suggestions!

Thanks for your reply! I had to click through an initial warning
about potentially harmful scripts and then several error messages, but
eventually it did display in IE. You don't appear to have edited my
object tag at all... what is it about the rest of your code that made
it work? Any way to avoid all the warnings and error messages?

A half decent doctype perhaps, wrapping object element, validating,
being tall and handsome and cool, going to a client's Xmas party to get
stupid... I dunno... <g>
