Thanks Jason, this is very useful and so easy to understand.
Unfortunately I am having a problem with validation, it doesn’t accept attributes width and height.

while very helpful as a start, some of the syntax of the IE only conditional would lead to validation errors, this wiki article addresses the correct syntax:

Has this been updated? This works fine for me in IE7, but in Firefox 2.0.0.14, a shows and the page is invalid. I obviously have to remove that, but I still end up with an invalid page. Any suggestions?

Hello does anyone have working example of this, which is working in all the browsers? IF yes it would be a great help to all.

Thanks in advance.

IE6 supports using without the ActiveX attributes (classid and codebase). Remove those and duplicate the s as attributes in the and you have something valid without needing the hack. **Tested in IE6.0, FF1.x and NN 7.2 (all Win XP) and IE5.2, FF1.5 and Safari 1.3 (all OS X)**

Also, SetVariable now works in Firefox 1.0 and Netscape 7.2 (possibly earlier) on Win. OS X is still a problem: so sez Mozilla. You won't need the name=id bit either, just the id.

This method does not seem to work on asp pages. I receive a VBScript error: an OBJECT tag cannot be placed inside another OBJECT tag…
