I'm only going to post this once-and hope it'll be answered:

I'm putting iframes into tables, is it the same as putting frames into tables? Also, if it is/is not, how do you absolute position it? If your iframes already have absolute positioning, will this affect the table?

You can put an iframe inside a table, but if you absolute position the iframe, it defeats the point - ie. if you position it over the table, it'll overlap it.

<iframe style="position:absolute; top:#px; left:#px;">
</iframe>
