As per the W3C recommendations, I have tried to change the IMG tag to the OBJECT tag. However, my image file refused to be displayed in Internet Explorer, while Opera and Mozilla have no such problems. Any solutions or is this a IE bug?

Bob: Yes OBJECT is the future of the IMG tag. I read it in a standard HTML book. HTML Validator (software) too recommends the change to OBJECT.

Well, my suggestion is to continue using the <IMG> tag, since it is not yet depreciated. If the <OBJECT> method of including an image works in browsers other than IE, that suggests to me that you have coded it correctly. We all know how IE tends to render pages in a non-standard way. Perhaps this problem will be corrected in a future release of IE; personally, I do not think that it will.

Can I see your code object tag as well as embedded img tag?<!--content-->abc is my filename (suppose). Here's the code.<br />
<br />
<object data="images/abc.png" type="image/png" title="abc" id="abc"><br />
<img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"images/abc.png" alt="abc" title="abc" /> Alphabets</object><!--content-->IE does not support image as an object<br />
Your example does not work because; object is supported, but not as image so object shows nothing. The enclosed image is not shown, because an object, if supported, should not render any enclosed elements.<br />
A "catch 22" piece of coding.<br />
<br />
See some examples and (older)support:<br />

It is not advisable to use object for images until IE has full support.<!--content-->LOL,<br />
<br />
That's what I said!
