How would you like to open a scrollable browsing window inside your page? It's very easy to create such a window -- usually referred to as a floating frame -- in Explorer 3.x and Explorer 4.x.

Simply insert following HTML tags in to your page:

<IFRAME
  width="width of the frame"
  height="height of the frame"
  name="name of the frame"
  src="URL of the page to display inside the frame">

  ...whatever you place here will be displayed
     if the browser doesn't support
     floating frames...

</IFRAME>
