<object> and scrollbars

Is there a way to get rid of these? I've viewed the page in FF1.5, IE6 and
Op9. Only Opera is displaying my subpage without them.

www.listyblue.com/test.htm

I think I can get around the issue by using iframes, but I've been striving
to use Strict DTD so it would be a shame to drop it.

Any help greatly appreciated.

First of all, the "scrolling" parameter isn't valid for <object> in
XHTML 1.0 Strict, though.

Second, is there any special reason you're using the <object> tag for
this, btw? AFAICT, the <img> tag is sufficient for this usage.

My site allows users to upload their own pictures. They are stored in a
protected directory. The test.php page retrieves the relevant image by
using HTTP headers.

Third, the reason IE is showing the object with scrollbars, is that
there appears to be a margin around the image.

There isn't. IE has just inserted it there.

I also viewed the page in FF1.5, and it showed up just fine there.

Which is weird. It looks like crud on mine.

Thanks for looking anyway. I think it's a no go - I've googled for a way to
do this and come up with blank. I guess I'll use <iframe> and Transitional
DTD. Just thought I'd try the collective brains here!
