This sort of thing is very tricky. Basically, you have to
write something like an ASP or ASP.NET page that retrieves
the page from the other domain, then inserts your header
and footer, then sends the result to the visitor.

Of course, you'll also have to modify the HTML for any
hyperlinks, image, style sheets, and other components that
use relative URLs. Unless you convert these relative URLs
to absolute (pointing inside the other domain), they'll
point to your domain and something won't work.

Are you sure you can't live with framesets?

How about an inline frame?
