Changing data content on an Object Tag in HTML

Answer 1

The above solutions did not work properly in Firefox, the Object tag doesn't refresh for some reason. My object tags show SVG images.

My working solution for this was to replace the complete Object node with a clone:

var object = document.getElementById(objectID);
object.setAttribute('data', newData);

var clone = object.cloneNode(true);
var parent = object.parentNode;

parent.removeChild(object );
parent.appendChild(clone );
