I’ve been looking at how different browsers handle the object tag generated by the Bubbleshare WordPress plugin displays differently in different browsers.
The iframe tag renders correctly. Why use the object tag, well, the iframe tag is deprecated in XHMTL 1.1. There are open questions on what happens to the DOM when embedding it inside of a object tag. 3Spots offers up a couple of CSS improvements including the overflow:hidden that I’ll include in the next release.
The question is why does this not render properly with Firefox and Camino or IE on Windows. Not adding a type=”text/html” to the object seems to be my mistake, I had the codetype=”text/html” but forgot to add the type. Silly mistakes. It still leaves my question of what happens to the DOM?
Seems like IE doesn’t like the< object > tag.Something Witty goes here… shows one possible work around.
