OBJECT tag

[nichalp]

I tried to encode a png file using the OBJECT tag instead of the IMG tag. However although it works fine in Mozilla and Opera, it doesn't show in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer treats it as an ActiveX object (I enabled ActiveX but to no avail). Any solutions?

use the img tag

<object data="raven.png" type="image/png"
style="height: 150px; width: 150px;">
Alternate text.
</object>

Thanks everyone, I've got the answer. IE does not support the OBJECT tag for images, esp PNG.

[Robert Wellock]

Yes, it does and you would notice that if you used my example.

Sorry, but IE doesn't support OBJECT for images like the example you've given. Mozilla and Opera work fine however.
