[Javascript] object that floats over frames

[Peter Brunone]

	Why would you need Javascript?  Just tell the iframe what its
attributes are at design time.  Even frames need that much instruction.

	Of course, by saying that, I've kind of made my response
off-topic...

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.
