Thank you to everyone for the replies.
It doesn't work in IE7 (beta anyway not that it matters as people will
be using IE6 for the moment I think).
I wasn't really shocked, I was being sarcastic, but its hard to get
that across in plain text, if not impossible.

Isn't that why we have standards, but there's a whole new argument
thats been argued to the death.
I basically need to put an external forum, which I can not edit, with my
header and footer (without using frames if possible). I don't know if
this is possible in server side scripting, I haven't done much of it. If
anyone could point me in the direction of a little tutorial that
achieves this, or what I need to look for, it would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris
