well, yes.  i thought i'd made that quite clear from the beginning.  at
least erik clued in to it anyways.  sorry if i wasn't more obvious about
that.

now offtopic so we both owe:

<tip type="Bookmarklet" author=".jeff">

sick of msdn and the fact that you *have* to view their content within their
frameset?  "bust" out of their frameset on any page you choose with this
bookmarklet.

javascript:var
frameSrc=top.frames['fraRightFrame'].frames['fraContent'].location.href;top.
document.open();top.document.write('<html><head><title></title></head><body
style="margin: 0px" scroll="no"><iframe name="fraContent" src="'+frameSrc+'"
frameborder="0" height="100%"
width="100%"></iframe></body></html>');void(0);

it won't keep all pages from pushing to the top or show the proper url in
the address bar for the page you're viewing, but it'll at least let you view
the content frame full browser window.
