It seems this is a bad morning for me...I just read the following
three lines and realized I can't see something just in front of me
!!!! Sorry Michael :-) I paste the next three lines for the author of
the original post:

"Of course, this will only work for elements that could be part
of a regular HTML page. In particular, images cannot be part of
in a regular HTML page (they have to be a separate file with an
<IMG> tag to include them in an HTML page), and can thus not be
inlined."

Now and about this: I think the issue of the original post can
be generalized since it mentions not only images but also
a web page. But in our days, who would like to show a web page
inline having no images???

Sorry once again
Greg
