Why doesn't <object> work in IE?

Well I'm tyring to do this layout. And I've set <p> to be so far from the edges etc, but then I want to do like a "table" using divs.

The table is:

<object><div class="third">Hey</div>
     <div class="third">Hey</div>
     <div class="third">Hey</div></object>

it works fine in FF, but not in IE.

And btw, I can't take out the <object> or it doesn't start in the right place if that makes sense.

Just so you're aware - don't use divs/spans/etc in replace for tables if you're using tabular data, because that's the whole purpose of tables. As for why your object tag isn't working (or why you're even using one for that matter) I'm unsure.

now you meantion about tables your right, but I found a way round it now, took out the <object> made a container so it works

No, tables not all the way. Div's are so much better

Divs load quicker than tables, however if you are trying to organize data, EG-

TIME DISTANCE
1:00 - 30m
2:00 - 60m
3:00 - 90m

-you should use tables.
