Is it possible to display other web pages in a cell?

The simplest way would be to put an <iframe> (or <ilayer> for NN4.x) 
tag into the cell and set the source of that tag to be webpage you want 
to display.

Example (for IE)...

---

<table>
<tr>
  <td id="URLCell"></td>
  <td>The webpage will show in the cell to the left</td>
</tr>
</table>

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
// the URL you want to show.
URL2Show = "http://www.faqts.com";
// the size of the frame
frameX = 200; frameY = 200;
// insert the <iframe> code
document.all.item("URLCell").innerHTML=
"<iframe src='"+URL2Show+"'width='"+frameX+
"' height='"+frameY+"'></iframe>";
</script>

...simply stick that code into an HTML page and you will see how it 
works. The <iframe> tag has some properties which allow you to alter 
the look and you can always use CSS definitions to alter it as well.

Hope that helps.

Ric.
