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?

Apparently, it only disappears if your reader is version 7.0.0 or
greater.  Versions 6.0.0.5 and 6.0.2 are known to not exhibit this
behavior.

Adobe's answer is to downgrade ot 6.0.2.  I'm attempting to break the
link between tree and PDF by putting them in different framesets.  I'll
see if this works.
