Michael,

One possibility would be to use IFRAME.  This lets you drop a frame into any
page without building a frameset, but only works on IE 4+ or Netscape 6+.

How is the guest book created and where does it post to?  Couldn't you just
copy the HTML and still have it post to the server with the guest book?
Wouldn't it be easier to make a guestbook in coldfusion (a very simple
task.)  There should be a lot of custom tags that do this.  If not, I'll
make you one.
