    Question:
    Dear Dr. Website: I'm trying to take an existing web page and embed the content within another without opening a new browser view. I've tried using Document.Write and have been unsuccessful. Is there an easy way to do this? HELP!
    Thanks

    Answer:
    What you need to use is iframes. You can thus embed a page within a page without using normal frames or without opening a new browser window: <IFRAME WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=320 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=yes BORDERCOLOR="#000000" SRC="yoursite.html" TARGET="_new"> </IFRAME> Any links inside the iframe will open a new window. If you do not wish that to be the case, take the "TARGET=_new" out of the iframe tag. Thanks, -- Dr. Website

    Question:
    Dear Dr. Website: I recently have come across websites (such as this one - I just noticed) that when you click to email them - the email window pops up and the Subject Line is already filled in - in your case "Dr. Website." I would like to be able to do this so that people know the mail is coming from my site. Please advise.
    Thanks

    Answer:
    There are many ways you can use the mailto
    to send pre-formatted email. Here are a few: normal mailto:
    <A HREF="mailto:scott@internet.com">this'll do it</A>

    mailto with subject:
    <A HREF="mailto:scott@internet.com?subject=this is the subject">this is it</A>

    mailto with several recipients:
    <A HREF="mailto:scott@internet.com,sclark@internet.com
    ">this be it</A>

    mailto with recipient, cc and bcc (carbon copy and blind carbon copy):
    <A HREF="mailto:scott@internet.com
    &cc=scott@webdeveloper.com
    &bcc=webmaster@webd eveloper.com">this be it</A>

    mailto with subject and body: <A HREF="mailto:webmaster@webdeveloper.com?subject=
    this is the subject
    &body=This is the body">test message body text</A>

    Thanks, -- Dr. Website

    Question:
    Dear Dr. Website: I have been creating a web site with Netscape 4.7. But then i suddenly realized i don't now how or where i can put my site. Also i want to know how i can put a movie on my site. from a learning web page designer
    Thanks

    Answer:
    You may want to download the latest version of Netscape, which at this point would be Netscape 6+. Then you can take advantage of the technology that is now available for your site. Or you may want to give one of the many HTML editors that are available a try:

    http://wdvl.internet.com/Reviews/HTML/As for where to put your site, you need to find a web host. You can use one of the free sites that are available, such as GeoCities.com, or if you want to pay a fee to host the site, you can find a host at our Web Host List:

    http://webhosts.thelist.com/You'll need to FTP your site to the host' web server. Most hosts provide information about that procedure, and some HTML tools, such as Netscape's editor, have this feature built in. Thanks, and good luck,
    Thanks -- Dr. Website
