Actually, I think you can, if you can be bothered. You know when you get a
message that has been forwarded a few times and you get all those >>>>>>>

might be worth a try.

Hmmmm....seems as if you could run into some problems, however I could be 
wrong as I have seen precious little of ASP.Net code to date. I know that 
the code has to be surrounded by <script></script> tags...but do you have 
to put some sort of write or response.write function for outputted HTML. I 
need to go buy a book I guess and find some way of putting the PHB off for 
a while.

Thanks!
