iframe not rendering in ie9 mode when containing page is in quirks mode

Question

I have an iframe in a page that runs in quirks mode (I don\'t have control over the containing page), and I need my page to render in a mode that is compatible with modern b

Answer 1

I ended up using an object tag instead of an iframe, it seems to work ok across modern browsers.

<object type="text/html" data="http://example.com"></object>

It turns out you can't modify the URL using javascript in IE9, but that's not a big deal - removing/adding a new object element works just as well for this.

Update: This tag can also be in an intermediate page that the iframe points to and it all works fine Update 2: This solution does not work in IE10
