is there any alternative to < object > tag in google chrome?

<div id="topBar">
<a href ="#" onclick="load_home()"> HOME </a>
</div>
<div id ="content"></div>

Javascript:

function load_home(){
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="type/html" data="home.html" ></object>';
}

it works fine on firefox but not in google chorme. why? any solution? it shows "no plug-in available to display this content". now my question is how to available plug-in to display the html page?

• 2 This is what <iframe> elements are for. – Blender Commented Jul 14, 2013 at 6:54
• 3 You've got type="type/html" That should be type="text/html" Then it will work fine in Chrome. – Alohci Commented Jul 14, 2013 at 10:06

Use an iframe instead of the <object> tag. <object> tags do not reliably work cross-browser, and are mostly used for Flash and sometimes Java applets. See here for more on iframes.
