It is done by combining DHTML and IFRAME/ILAYER elements.

Using CSS, you can set the display attribute to "none" and the element =
that has this property will not appear in the document (nor will the white =
space the elemtn occupies).  Once you change the display attribute to =
"block", the element becomes visible and takes up the appropriate amount =
of space on the page.

Although I didn't take the time to see how they implemented this technique,=
 it's very common among DHTML developers.  You'll see it especially in =
heirchial menu systems (expanding menus).

    Hi all,
    I just found this page with a link to screwed by insurance
http://www.openhere.com/finance/insurance/news-and-information/=20
& they have a "[QuickView]" that opens the page in a new inline window (I
don't know what else to call it). How is that done? I didn't see anything =
in
the code to perform that function.....thought it might be interesting for
everyone.
TIA,
Paul
