Basically, it's an <iframe> that has a style sheet associated with it that
makes it invisible. Netscape doesn't support <iframe>, so you are limited
in your audience, but if you are developing for a controlled environment in
which everyone uses I.E., it works pretty well.
<!-- style sheet -->
#ifrmSubmitForm { position: absolute; top: 400; left: 5; visibility:
hidden }
<!-- IRAME -->
<IFRAME id="ifrmSubmitForm" name="ifrmSubmitForm" src=""></IFRAME>
I've never tried it with any other type of frames, so you *might* be able to
get Netscape to support it as well, with a little experimenting.
