You are too easily shocked.
IE often does things differently from other browsers. In most cases it's
because the other browsers get things right and IE screws them up. In this
case though, IE isn't screwing things up -- it is perfectly justified in
doing this:

That's not to say that the other browsers are wrong either -- just
different. HTML (and to a lesser extent CSS) allows for a huge range of
different ways to present the same thing, with none of them being "wrong".
Now might be the time to state what your real problem is, which I suspect
might be along the lines of "I need to include some external data into a
page seamlessly"; in which case the solution is a server-side include, or
some server-side scripting in, for instance, PHP.
