I have a need to include dynamically updated forms from another server in some pages... ideally these would be pulled into a table in my template, but I can't find any way of doing this.

The include function only appears to allow local template files to be included... what I'm looking for is something that would work like this:
<table><tr><td>
{include url="http://some.server/form.html"}
</td></tr></table>

The included code does not need to be transformed or inspected in any way by eZp, and the form-processing will be handled by the remote server.

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

You could use the iframe to get html from an external URL like this:

<iframe src="..."
width="100" height="100" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">
<ilayer src="...">... for Netscape ...</ilayer>
</iframe>
