html help..

Question

I have a bit of html code that displays a set of URLs in sequence continuously with a 30 delay between each.

(I didn't write it, I found the code ), now I want to have that to appear in a window while the main window displays the local temperature, i.e., a window within the main browser window. I hope that makes sense.
This whole thing is a weather watch.

If you're bored and would like to help it would be greatly appreciated-

Frames have long been deprecated, should be avoided, in current HTML specs.What's used to set and position a window within a webpage is CSS. One way is to define the window properties in the  portion of your webpage using a  tag. Then in the &lt;Body&gt; section, use a &lt;DIV&gt; tag to enclose the contents of the window.&lt;DIV&gt; tag to enclose the contents of the window.

To get a basic idea of CSS, go to w3schools.com and delete everything in the left column "Source Code:". Then copy and paste this text file using Accuweather widget as an example:Click the "Submit Code" button. Change the "left" and "top" element in the  tag to position the box on the page. You can also change the "width" and "height" elements to re-size the box itself. Make sure to click "Submit Code" to see the changes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can see that you can position the widget anywhere on the page.&lt;br&gt;You can see that you can position the widget anywhere on the page.

Think of the &lt;div&gt; tag as a container, which is uniquely identified by its "id=". Whatever you place between a &lt;div id=""&gt; and  stays within that container. You can have as many &lt;div&gt; containers as you want, and nest them within each other.In this case, the Accuweather widget was placed within the &lt;div id="box"&gt; container that can be positioned anywhere.
