Hi

I need to create an iframe or (something)that displays only a defined section or portion of an external website. In this case it is a little table with movies that are showing at our local theatre. I only want the table (that sits just about in the middle of the external page) and not the whole page from the left top corner.

Can anyone help?

See if this is like what you want. If so just copy the code from the source file and remove the Geocities server entries (they are marked)and change as needed.

If you are wanting to show JUST the table with the movie listings from an external page, you can't do it - at least not easily.

The only way to get just part of the contnet from an external page is to use a "screen scraper". This is programmin which will hit the external page and "extract" the specified data according to the parameters of the programming. There are some screen scrapers available out there, but you would have to have at least a basic understanding of the programming used in order to implement them.
