Patrick,
As you've discovered, the current versions of IE don't work with this
method. It now requires a Javascript stub, and obviously, Javascript
enabled on the browser. This new method will work in all browsers. No
need for any IE-specific code.
There's a good explanation of this at:
http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/embedtag.shtml
If you've got a number of pages with the <object> style code to convert,
the BBEdit script will do the job nicely (it does require BBEdit which
runs only a Mac).
The description of the code conversion process is excellent at this
site, even if you can't use the tool. There are links to both the Apple
and Microsoft's discussions on this topic as well.
You can certainly alter the user warning message (inside the <noscript>
container) to your liking or just replace the <img> container with a
text warning without the image.
