[Mapserver-users] how to use HTML Legends with Steve Lime's DHTML interface

I've implemented Steve Lime's DHTML interface with dBox (javascript 
rubber band). It's working great (thanks!).

Now I'd like to add an HTML legend. I can get my map file to generate 
the HTML for the legend using a stand-alone CGI line; that seems to work 
fine. But I can't figure out how to use that line to insert the HTML 
into my web page.

I know some DHTML/DOM/javascript. What I'd like to know is how to take 
the result of something like:
http://mysite/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/mymapfile.map&mode=legend
and insert it into a web page, without using Frames.

Thanks for your help. Cheers,
