I love watching the pandas at www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_panda_station.html

but is there a neat bit of code that will take the pandacam window and allow it to run on my desktop without the rest of the page being open? I've tried reducing the window down to the size of the pandacam part only but it doesn't reduce far enough as the menu bit on the left doesnt reduce without encroaching on the pandacam part if you see what i mean.

Any IT guys write anything to allow me to just have the pandacam bit say in a corner of my desktop ?

thanks in advance

If you use active desktop you should be able to have a html page as your desktop with the panda feed embedded in it.

Hmmmn, I cant seem to get it working with Active Desktop, perhaps it has some fundamental limitations with live content.

Gets you the cam without all the guff though.
