Hey Paul.

Yeah, it does work. Funny thing is, I did use the "height:inherit;" style
element in my experiments. Maybe it conflicts with something else I also
had in there.

I have used frames in the past, and I don't like them. I used to have a
rant up on my website, quite a while ago, about why. But that's another
topic, and one I don't really want to go into anyway.

And, !*&# MSIE! ;-)

Thanks.
