It can be done with fixed positioning, and then additional CSS for IE 
being absolute positioning. See thelodgetx.com http://thelodgetx.com for 
example. This site also provides the appearance of frames (fixed header, 
footer and left nav) without using frames or framesets. It's currently 
HTML 4.0 Trans so I'm not sure if the technique will function in XHTML, 
which is a not too distant project for me.
