That was the whole idea.

As pointed out by several others, the original question about "calling" a
graphic from a remote server was not practical using SSI. I was merely
showing an example of the sort of "stuff" others do to be able to reach out
to unknown and distant servers in our vast web-land ....

Here is another example. This one for a "link" to a search engine about file
extensions. They freely offer the code to anyone who will link to their
site:

<A HREF="http://extsearch.com/"><IMG
SRC="http://images.kresch.com/extsearch2.gif" WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60 BORDER=0
ALT="File Extension Search Engine"></A>

This places a remote, linked banner, (animated GIF), at the place of
insertion. The lady may be able to modify some such code to accomplish her
purpose.

Best wishes
Ted
