LOL! We cross-posted.

So for whatever it's worth I successfully implemented the work-around using my web site's blog page. It used to bring in the blog via iframe, now it uses the <object> code. Since the blog's on the same server as the web site everything worked out.

One more little thing I noticed: apart from the good karma of using code that's fully XHTML Strict compliant, external data brought in via the <object> method gets displayed in place on Blackberry browsers. That's not the case with iframes; you normally have to include a direct link to the data with a fall-back text block and make the mobile user click through.

This revelation shall have lasting consequences with respect to how I manage a certain golf league's web site this coming season. :cool:
