Todd,
Would this macro work for embedded Google Forms at http://spreadsheets.google.com?
They require an iframe too.

This exact macro wouldn't work but I shouldn't be too difficult to change the validation rules around a little bit to allow it.

Excellent! Are you going to give it a try? Here is an example of the embeded code.

Wally/Todd,
Where you able to embed the google form? I am trying embed a google form on our instance too.
FYI, this plugin works on SBS 3.0 also.
