createElement("object") and Problems in IE / FF

[christian]

hi there!

i've the following piece of html:

<div id="tbl"></div>

and i'm trying to create an object with the following javascript code:

var objDiv = document.getElementById("tbl");
var obj = document.createElement("object");

obj.data = "text.php";
obj.type = "text/html";
obj.id = "obj_results";
obj.width ="500px";
obj.height="300px";
objDiv.appendChild(obj);

this all seems to work fine in firefox, but wont in ie. firefox also
doesn't care about if I create an embed or an param element, the object
is loaded as wanted. is there any solution for my problem?

cheers, christian

Does it still?? I have to check it and report to Bugzilla if indeed.

Cross-domain security overpass using embedded objects was a big issue a
couple of years ago. I can't believe it is still in effect by now: a
full check is needed.
Thanks for a hint!

You have never made it clear what definition you use for "bug", but
clearly it is very different from anything used in programming.

Cross-domain security overpass

"Security overpass"?

using embedded objects was a big issue a
couple of years ago. I can't believe it is still in effect by now:

What is cross-domain about loading the relative URL "text.php"?

a full check is needed.

LOL.

Thanks for a hint!

First of all, I di use the word "bug". That is an "unexpected feature
use" if musted to be classified. Secondly, you, guys, like from a time
warp. A 1/3rd (at least) of the world suffered of a virtual browser
initialized over <objecttag, but clj has no information about it.

Sorry to be nasty - but speechless...

thx guys for the relpies, but none of those help me to solve my problem
to get the object to work in IE...

With IE you might have more success with e.g.
if (typeof objDiv.insertAdjacentHTML != 'undefined') {
objDiv.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', [
'<object id="obj_results" data="text.php"',
' type="text/html"',
' width="500" height="300"',
'<\/object>'
].join('\r\n'));
}
of course if you need any param elements then insert them first in the
string you build and then call insertAdjacentHTML on the complete string.
On the other hand I don't see any reason to use an object element to
render a text/html document, using an iframe seems sufficient.

A bug is an "unexpected feature use"?

What are you going on about?

And that is relevant because?

You are not being nasty, you are making a fool of yourself.
