This is much more of HTML issue that a WebCatalog one (although of course WebCatalog serves up random banner ads quite nicely), because you need to insert some HTML onto a 'foreign' site that grabs your ads.The foreign server either needs to use Frames, or it must have some kind of SSI ability that lets it execute a URL and embed the contents into its own pages. In either case, your WebDNA on your banner server is the same. The visitor's browser is going to display whatever HTML it is asked to, regardless of the source.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
