[thelist] Replicating IFRAME Tag in Netscape

[gregory.john.toland at census.gov]

I tried this using <layer src="mypdf.pdf></layer> in Netscape 4.7 and I
got:

             "Alert!  did not find a converter or decoder"

Any ideas?  I also tried using the <ILAYER> tag.  Netscape's documentation
says the "src" attribute must be an HTML source.

Netscape Documentation...
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/htmlguid/tags12.htm

SRC="file"
   specifies the pathname of a file that contains HTML-formatted content
for the layer.


This must be possible somehow in Netscape without loosing the top and
bottom template of my web page.  I would like the PDF to open up in the
middle of the page.  I cannot use FRAMES...not Section 508 compliant.  Any
help would be great!
