[PHPwestoz] HTML (not PHP) question: <OBJECT> tag

If have <OBJECT DATA="filename.html" TYPE="text/html"> and the enclosed 
HTML file has links in it. These links work exactly as you would expect 
in Mozilla (and all derivatives), Konqueror, Netscape 4.x, Links, 
Opera, Safari, yadda, yadda, but *not* MSIE, which replaces the 
_embedded_file_ with the new link, not the _page_ (<thwack!>).

Adding 'target="_top"' or 'target="_parent"' to the links doesn't do any 
visible good. Adding frame-breaker scripts to the target pages is also 
useless (I tried a variety). And several hundred search results later 
Google is still coming up dry.

Help?

Cheers; Leon
