Given you can't access the server were the forum is stored, the only thing you
can do is wait for your hidden frame to load and then copy its HTML ( via
document.innerHTML ) to your DynLAyer. If that content has images and is in
another server, be sure to add a <base href .. tag to your content to the image
loading in your layer is redirected to the server where the guestbook lives.
This trick ( as many other innerHTML related ) will only work in IE, because NS
has no way of reading its HTMl contents.
