IE7 RC1 - Second embedded HTML using <OBJECT> not rendered: Bug?
All,
Wondering if you can help me with an issue i'm having with IE7 RC1. I've checked my source code (HTML & CSS) against the W3 validators (they're valid) and the page renders as expected in Firefox and Opera, it's driving me mad!
I've a HTML page that included 2 object tags that embed the navigation page (in <div> tag using position to set it as a left column) and embed the footer (in <div> tag using CSS position to set it ias the right column).
The first object tag is being rendered (albeit with scrollbars, but that not important now...) so the navigation is a frame on the left. The mark-up is being rendered in the right hand column, but the footer is not being embedded in IE7. The <OBJECT> tag message is not being displayed so it appears IE is rendering it, but collapsing it or something very strange. If I load the footer page directly in IE all is well.
