In fact you don't even need any fancy scripting to use both.  You can just=

add both <iframe> and <ilayer> to your page and IE and NS will safely=20
ignore the code they don't support.  You can add alternate content between=
=20
the opening and closing <iframe> tags and browsers that support neither=20
will display that instead, sort of like noframe.  It works too if you put=20
the <ilayer> tag inside the opening and closing <iframe> tags like you do=20
for <embed> inside <object>.  I tested this in IE 5.0 and 5.5, NS 4.7 and=20
3.04 as well as Opera 3.61 (all on a Windows machine).  Opera and NS 3.04=20
displayed the alternate text and IE 5.0, 5.5 and NS 4.7 displayed the=20
inline frame/layer using the code they support and safely ignored the=20
alternate text I put within the <iframe> tags, both when I inserted=20
the  <ilayer> code within the <iframe> tags or outside of them.  Actually I=

was surprised that it all worked this well with such simple coding...=
 YMMV...
