object scrollbars won't go away in IE in xhtml strict

[musicory]

I am working on using 2 objects (would be iframes, but xhtml strict doesn't support them anymore):

The objects are for the Local Weather section and the blue listing ad on the right side. FF displays just fine, but IE won't show the content, AND I can't get the scroll bars to go away.

I have read numerous articles on this problem, and a few people have suggested answers. I have tried all of them and nothing works.

Problems:
1. Content doesn't display - would this be because the html I am trying to pull in has html tags and a doctype attached?
2. The freaking scrollbars won't go away

Please don't suggest that I change doctypes. The client wants xhtml strict, and the document currently validates as such.
