Sadly IE/win's handling of <object> is severely broken. It treats all <object> elements as ActiveX objects - if you insert a simple image using <object> and set ActiveX to prompt, this will demonstrate that. It will eventually display the image, but will behave more like you inserted an iframe - complete with padding and scrollbars. You also can't scale the image. It is a major, major bug - and is preventing sites from being more accessible. Maybe for IE7, Microsoft? -- Tom Gilder http://tom.me.uk/
