[Javascript] object that floats over frames

[Chris Tifer]

Without any extra code, they cannot. Sure, if you want to use some special
technique, that's all well and good. I missed where he said they were using
IE6.

But what I said is true - when not used in conjunction with JavaScript.
FRAMES and IFRAMES have 2 different uses...  IFRAMES are used to embed a
page inside of another.
