You need an iframe: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp But beware that sites can tell browsers not to load themselves into iframes on foreign domains (using an X-Frame-Options header). All recent browsers adhere to this. If the page you are trying to load returns such a header, you are out of luck. You should also be aware that any interaction with the page may be interrupted by the automatic reload of the parent frame. This approach is probably only usable for pages you only want to look at. You will probably even lose your scrolling position inside the iframe when the parent gets reloaded. J. -- Whenever I hear the word 'art' I reach for my visa card.
