Because the site is driven by a CGI script and I have found it to
be too difficult to control the proper frame information from the
script.

I ended up placing the <div> tags for both the header and footer
directly in the HTML instead of adding them via javascript. Then,
I use javascript to modify the <div> tag's attributes to achieve
the proper placement and overflow height.

IE is happy with that. Of course, all the other browsers never
had a problem in the first place, but they're good with this
solution too.
