IE 6, Reader 7.0.5

Keeping it simple:  I have a webpage with an embedded PDF and a DHTML
tree.  The tree is manipulated via hrefs that run javascript functions.
 The functions do not touch the PDF document, or its container.  Yet
when any of the tree functions execute, the document disappears;  it
turns all white and stops responding to user input.  I've tried
embedding the PDF, and using an object tag:
(angle brackets replaced with parens to protect the innocent)

(object type="application/pdf" data="./PDF/SECL00004671.PDF"
VIEWASTEXT)(param name="src" value="./PDF/SECL00004671.PDF"/)(/object)
and
(EMBED src="./PDF/SECL00004671.PDF" width="100%" height="100%"
type=application/pdf)(/EMBED)

Any ideas?
