I want home.html to load in <div id="content">.

<div id="topBar"> <a href ="#" onclick="load_home()"> HOME </a> </div>
<div id ="content"> </div>
<script>
      function load_home(){
            document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="type/html" data="home.html" ></object>';
  }
</script>

This works fine when I use Firefox. When I use Google Chrome, it asks for plug-in. How do I get it working in Google Chrome?

I finally found the answer to my problem. The solution is

function load_home() {
     document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="text/html" data="home.html" ></object>';
}
