i have this problem, i got a problem in a object tag, try to set value from the page , but cant work, error appear.

form a.php
part of the code:

<div><object id="ifValidate" data="validate.php?xf_sid=0000000060" style="display:" type="text/php"></object></div>


in form validate.php
part of the code:
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";
echo " parent.ifValidate.text_id.value='1234';";
echo "</script>";

the field text_id is located in a.php
any one know how to set the value to the a.php from validate.php(located in object tag)

if the object tag replace with iframe, it work, i try this before, but xhtml doest allow iframe.
and the browser use is IE, i try getElementById and it work for firefox and not in IE

It works for iframe because basically your iframe will load that validate.php and the script inside validate.php will be executed.
I am not much familiar with object tag, but I am sure about it that if you want to execute php script you have to load that page again.
Your iframe does the same. Try using AJAX, so that you send request from your current page to validate.php and get the values to your current page. Don't know much I am a newbie.

[sry in advance if it does not work or I din got your problem. ]
