[Javascript] object that floats over frames

[Peter Brunone]

	Well, Dan said he was using IE6, which is certainly capable
enough to handle iframes and their positioning attributes.  Sure, he may
not want to spend the time necessary to go that route... but your
assertion was that iframes can't be kept in one spot like frames can,
which of course isn't true.

If this person said this was an Intranet application utilizing a capable
browser, that'd be a safe option, but I'm sure they don't want to go
changing their existing application to do this. I know I wouldn't.
