RE: FN-FORUM: passing form contents to an Iframe

Then I think you need to replace the Iframe with a subroutine using CSS
stuff to emulate the Iframe within the same page and pass the parameters
within ASP so it's invisble to the client side.

Of course this is a pain because of the inconsistant behaviour of CSS
across browsers, but once you've built it with enough passed parameters I
guess it could become re-usable.
