Ok so maybe this is slightly off topic but what the heck. Does anyone know how you can place layers within tables. I've used ILAYER semi-successfully but as soon as I the table gets too complex unexpected things start happening. If I have nested tables things no longer work as expected. Could anybody offer any help or point out any gotchas that might be hanging me up??? Thanks

Updated: 

test1.html contains ilayer source document
------------------------------------------
<HTML><BODY bgcolor="FF0000"></BODY></HTML>

test2.html calls the ilayer this doesn't work...
if you take away the outer table it works
or if you take away the ilayer in the middle it
works
------------------------------------------------
<HTML><BODY bgcolor=ffffff>
<TABLE><TR><TD bgcolor=AAAAAA>
Yeah
<TABLE><TR><TD bgcolor=0000FF>
Blah
</TD>
<TD>
<ILAYER src=test1.html width="500" height="100"></ILAYER>
</TD>
<TD bgcolor=00FF00>Still more stuff</TD>
</TR></TABLE>
Stuff
</TD></TR></TABLE>
</BODY></HTML>
