Sure. And there's certainly others that would fail in a way that
makes the page unusable ... I'd rather it be usable for everyone, and
"as intended" for most than  look pretty for more and be unusable for
some.

Again, I need to simulate the "frameset" you get with the browsers
this (http://www.gozz.com/temporary/dangerous/styled.cfm) works for
OR use "real" frames.

Maybe aardvark is right - I should bite the bullet and use frames.

But if I don't have to and also can use capability testing, I'd
rather do that. You and Samir seem to think that is possible, but
haven't made specific suggestions .... what should I try?
