I was reading something and it said that W3C deprecated IFRAME and it will be removed in future versions of (X)HTML. what's that mean? I assume it means IFRAME got booted and object tags are the new standard... but what's the difference and what are the advantages to object tags?

Old vs. new
The iframe basically is a relic from the Great Browser Wars and got included to stop the bickering; the object element is more generic, more versatile and more thought-through.
Iframe can still be found in its own module in the XHTML 1.1 specs; from the XHTML 2.0 drafts, it seems to have disappeared, though. -
XHTML2 will probably bring an entirely new frames system with it, using XFrames. See: <http://www.w3.org/TR/xframes/>liorean <[[email protected]]>
