Hi,

thanks all for help...
re using frames - i'm actually pulling apart a
prototype built in frames so thats kind of a no go -
there are a lot of dynamic sections on the page which
could not be produced using frames and using any of
them rules out using frames on the
others......unfortunately!

re SSI - that was the direction I was albeit
reluctantly heading so the pointers you gave me will
be v. useful - thanks!

re load():

this only works in NS 4 but gives you the ability to
load a new document into layers - very cool indeed.

use layer.load(src, width)

(where src is the url of your document, plus you must
specify the width for line wrapping - dunno what
happens if you don't specify it)

this will only work when the page has loaded so you
can only use it in an event handler - eg a mouseover -
not in a top-level script.

How Microsoft can leave something quite as fantastic
as this out I don't know. 

Any other ideas re mimicking this functionality in IE
would still be much appreciated!

cheers

@ndy Dunbar
