Thanks, Sherman. I know a little CSS, but will have to look up that
Z-index thingy.

Not yet sure that I want to do it, but I do want to take a look at it. I
bring my forum onto a web page via iFrame. It takes up the left 50% of
the page. The right 50% is another iFrame containing links, news, title
- well, a host of things.

The layout of the page is such that users could see enough of the
background (changing text data) while using the forum to decided whether
or not they wanted to scroll down (repeating background) to below the
forum and read the information. I would like to get away from a link
and/or opening in a window.

This is not a commercial web site.
