Scott, Have you considered using an IFRAME to display the message itself? This way the message is a separate document with its own CSS; that is independent of the container page...

Currently, the styles from the containing site are affecting the display of the embedded message. Is there a way to turn off CSS and the cascade for content inside a block level element? The only thing I can think of is to create a rule that overrides every single CSS property with a default value. Like this: #turnOffCss * { border-width: 0 !important; border-color: #000 !important; border-style: solid !important; ... } Clearly this is poor hack and will not scale well into the future. Any other ideas would be most appreciated.
