There's no way to do this using just HTML.  The frames suggestion is not 
particularly good IMO, since people seem to hate frames and many 
designers have stopped using them.

If you use ActiveState Perl on Win32, porting from that to Apache with 
mod_perl on Unix is a no-brainer.  Or you could write the thing in ASP, 
then use "asp2php" (Google for it) to convert everything when it's time 
to upgrade to PHP, port time gets reduced by a huge factor there.
