Here’s the code:

(function()
{
    var clear = function(a)
    {
        for(var i=0; i < a.length; i++)
        {
            a[i].outerHTML=a[i].outerHTML;
        }
    };

    clear(document.getElementsByTagName("object"));
    clear(document.getElementsByTagName("embed"));
})();

The original code I found only applied the fix to object tags. But since use of the object tag is becoming deprecated, we also need to touch the embed tags as well. The code above does both and is wrapped in an anonymous function to keep all is private bits private.

Finally, since this is an IE-only fix, we should make use of IE’s conditional comments so other browsers don’t have to be bothered by the script. Assuming we placed (a minified version of) the code into a file named controlFix.js, we then add the following code at the end of the source code:

<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="controlFix.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

If you’d like to use this on your site, you can download the minified JavaScript here.
