I'd recommend against this.  I haven't tested it on recent browsers, but 
when I tried this solution in 2004, it crashed Gecko-based browsers 
hard.  They would max out the CPU and then crash.  It affected all 
Gecko-based browsers at the time, and I believe it affected all 
operating systems, as well (I only personally tested it in 
Firefox/Windows, but others confirmed the behavior).

I don't know if this bug is fixed in current versions of Gecko, but 
enough people use outdated browsers that I wouldn't use it, since the 
same thing can be easily done with <body> and a <div>.
