Link in Object Won't Open in _parent with IE

Post by toasty2 »

I am using <object> to include some web pages into a web page (similar to iframes, but since object is XHTML compliant). The object web pages have target="_parent" on every link (anchor), but the links don't open in the parent page in IE, but do in Firefox. Is there some way I can get it to work in IE also?

Anyone? If I didn't explain myself, then basically:
I'm using <object> instead of <iframe> to include some web pages with inline frames. The pages in those frames have links (anchors) which all have their targets' set to _parent. This works in Firefox, but not in IE. Any ideas? The only alternative I can think of is making the links open in a new window, but I would like to avoid that.
