Who knows why it's called loadpanel? Not me...
It's kind of a mystery why it's in the GUI part of the API distribution
as well, when it seems more like an extension.

there's been a bit of discussion about this. No one seems to know what
the iLayer option is for (whoever wrote the original LoadPanel doesn't
seem to be around anymore), and it may be removed in the future. As for
IFrame, you only really have a choice to use an IFrame or not on IE for
PC, everything else uses IFrames (or Layer for NS4) so perhaps this
option should be hidden from the developer.

It defaults to the most compatible method depending on what browser is
viewing the page.

I think out of the box LoadPanel works on IE 4, 5 & 6 for PC, IE 5 Mac,
NS 4 & 6 all platforms. There are some known issues with LoadPanel, have
a trawl through the list to find out about them.
