Hrm. Let me make sure that code is still up to date. I doubt it = \

//////////////// example /////////////////

// get a reference to the container:
var myContainer = document.getElementById("containerID");

// load it!
__env__.addToPageQueue("http://somwhere.com/foo.html", myContainer);

////////////// end example ////////////////

Note that foo.html MUST include a line like:

<script 
src="http://yourdomain.com/netWindows/winScripts/load_page_callback.js" 
language="JavaScript"></script>

> Another (important) thing: where can I find the NW API?

An incomplete draft of the documentation for the API as it exists in CVS (the 
development of which has been generously sponosred by Mark) is available at:

	http://netWindows.org/docs/manual.pdf
	http://netWindows.org/docs/manual.html

Both are now linked from the netWindows.org main page thanks to some proding 
from Michael last night.

I realize the docs are currently incomplete, so if you have any questions, 
don't hesitate to post them here.

Hope that helps.
