Hi,

First I have an object element:

<object id='mC' class='content2'
data='index.htm' type='text/html' style=''>
</object>

And a link with onclick:

<a href="../CFR/next.htm" class='button2'
onclick="first();return false;"

then a script:

function first() {
document.getElementById("mC").data="../CFR/next.htm";
}

Why does this only work, where works is when the new html replaces the old
html, in Firefox?

If i cut the return false IE and Safari replace the entire page.

Thank You and Best Regards,
Joe

The `style' attribute value MUST NOT be empty. Remove the attribute
specification or specify a value that complies with the standard.

</object>

onclick="first(this.href); return false;"

function first(s)
{

document.getElementById("mC").data="../CFR/next.htm";

document.getElementById("mC").data = s;

is easier to maintain. You might also want to do a feature test with
fallback on document.getElementById().

Switching from "http://localhost/" to "http://www.google.com/" on
"http://www.w3.org/" (dynamically created) *WFM* in "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3".

You must be doing something else wrong.

Gecko-based UAs do that, too. Works as designed, since the default action
for the hyperlink was not prevented.

That's what he wrote, it was working in Firefox, but not Safari or IE.

Changing .data on that <objectdoesn't appear to be well supported at
all in current browsers:

Firefox 2.0.0.15/Linux no
Firefox 3.0.3/WinXP yes
Safari 3.1/WinXP yes
Opera 9.5/Linux yes
Internet Explorer 6/WinXP no (and issues 2 warnings)
Internet Explorer 7/WinXP no (doesn't load external data at all)

Looks like it would be simpler to just use an Iframe.

ACK, my bad. A bit complicated wording, though.

Full ACK.

Thanks for that this. I knew I was putting the full url in href for a good
reason.

Add IE8 to the no work list.

I did not expect a failure using object here. I was looking for a param to
use for the target url.

I am back in the land of iframes.

Thanks Again and Best Regards,
