I am trying to use OBJECT to embed content from a remote server into a webpage. The remote content is a component provided by a third party and they host it on their domain. I have been able to get the OBJECT tag to "work" for all browsers using relative URL's for data (same domain) but IE fails completely any time the data attribute references a remote site.
Is there a way for me to get around this limitation? Is it something that can be fixed with a crossdomain.xml entry or some other flag that can be specified in the HTML?
I realize that IFRAME is a possible alternative solution to using an OBJECT but I would prefer to find out how to handle this with an OBJECT if possible. If it is not possible to do this with an OBJECT then I will know I have to look for other options.
Based on another question I have decided that I will try to make this work with an IFRAME and not worry about OBJECT tags. If it ends up causing issues with the third party provider's software we can address it at that point.
