It matters? This is a technical question.

Yes, I am aware.

That pretty much answers the question then - when I researched this on
the web, the postings I found were a couple of years old. I didn't
know if someone came up with a way to pull this sort of thing off in
IE or not (as per my previous posting). It works fine in other
browsers I tested (firefox, safari, chrome).
I've seen it done before, but only using javascript to force it in all
browsers. I wanted to try avoid doing that, but it seems that won't
be possible.
