<object> persistence across pages?

[Tim Jowers]

We are using an object from a vendor into which we write data from
several web pages. So far IE always seems to create a new copy of the
object for each web page. Is there a way to make it behave like
applets so the data is retained as the object is only created one
time? By design we are not doing a form POST until after many pages.

So far, the only solutions seem to be to put everything in a frame and
put the object in the outer frame or to sopy all the data into an
applet.

Code:

<object id="sbiplg" name="sbiplg" width="0" height="0"
classid="CLSID:35178E2E-E425-45d0-AF6A-9472155347DC"
codebase="./sbiplgie.cab">
</object>
I tried the "declare" tag on
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-97070...s.html#h-7.7.1 but
it doesn't seem to fit.

Thanks!

Don't rely on client side cludges to deliver critical content, unless
you do it in an accessible way (ergo, a plain link to the embedded
document), which in itself means you will not have to worry anymore,
because it 'works' now.

Better is to just include the content from one document into the other
with a server side process and deliver it to the browser as one document.
