Well, I had a closer look and detected the problem to be:
The IFRAME tag, while part of the HTML 4.0 standard is not supported
by Netscape 4.x.  Any text between <IFRAME> and </IFRAME> is shown by a
browser, which does not know about IFRAME, but is suppressed by those
who can.  I would like a clickable anchor to the IFRAME SRC, as an alternative
for us poor Netscape users.

Ok, then a program accessible interface would be fine.
May be I would really use it myself...
