I thought it usually goes the other way round...anyway, I have a blogger.com page that I've stuck in the middle of a web page. This works just groovy in Firefox, but the page is blank (white) in IE.
Here's what code I have stuck in:
<tr>
<td colspan="8">
<object data=http://www.wasteofaces.com/sfp/sfpblog.html width="800" height="1249">
<embed src=http://www.wasteofaces.com/sfp/sfpblog.html width="800" height="1249"> </embed></object>
</td>
</tr>
Here's the site: http://www.stonefalconproductions.com
Anyone know what I should do to get the embed to work on IE?
thanks in advance,
Jun:D
The simple answer is: don't do that. Support for this kind of thing is awful. If you really must embed one page in another, use an iframe. There's no reason to use <object> and <embed> for this.
You do also need to specify type="text/html" in that <object> tag, though.

I'm kind of not the best person with all of this script, only able to copy/paste and alter measurements and stuff.
How would I use iframe in this case? (I tried a script from the site and I screwed up my page :( )

Thankyou, that did solve my IE viewing problem, but it caused a couple of minor issues.
The bottom of the html page doesn't show up any more now, theres how the code looks now:
<tr>
<td colspan="8">
<iframe src="http://www.wasteofaces.com/sfp/sfpblog.html" width="800" height="1249">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="8"><img name="footer" src="images/footer.gif" width="800" height="49" border="0" id="footer" alt="" /></td>
<td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="49" border="0" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
Also a javasript drop down list from the main html button area doesnt work any more.
I can redesign around both these issues if I have to, just wondering if anyone might have fix suggestions.
Thankyou for your help so far

you need to close the iframe
<iframe src="whatever.html"> Put noframes error message here if necessary. </iframe>

Well, that shows you how long it has been since I've used frame.
