Has anyone done any Sitemesh stye mashups using Rails? I want to grab  
an entire HTML page from another site and mash it into my sites layout/  
chrome. To do that I would need to strip the head section and the  
body tags and just plop in the guts. I might also need to grab any  
links to javascripts or images out of the remote page’s head section  
and put it in my head section. Has anyone done something like this  
with Rails?

Thanks!
