I take it you mean contain as between the <a> and </a>? That MIGHT work, in
the same sense that frames work. The link information itself would have to
be enclosed in another tag within the <a></a>, and the HREF were replaced
by something else, say FRAMEREF, with HREF providing a link for non-framed
browsers. Not that I like this solution, to me this is still a kluge.
