Can I display a webpage on a prim? (not a screen grab)
Also is it possible to have a webpage which I can use as a webpage on a prim?
Thanks

"html on a prim" is a famous piece of "vaporware" that may, or may not, have been promised/forecast by Linden Lab (or one of it's agents) once in the past (depending on who you ask). The lack of HTML-ON-A-PRIM has been oft lamented, along with Havok 2, and "new avatar meshes".. as "empty promises" from Linden Lab.
Many pundits (or people with opinions) often point out that without the ability to draw dynamic data (textures/html/etc) and use it without a MAJOR degree in astrometrics and xenobiology , then the SL platform may never graduate to a truly "3d-web".. and it's dependence on prioprietary formats and uploaded centrally located "assets" may limit the platform's ability to "scale". Here's a few samplings from the web, on the subject: "Official" SL pages on the subject: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Programmatic_Textures https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Web_Textures https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-217 https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2493 http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Zero_Linden/Office_Hours/HTML_on_a_Prim_Use_Cases Blogs and whatnot: http://taotakashi.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/html-on-a-prim-is-getting-ready-for-prime-time/ http://www.vintfalken.com/in-world-browser-on-prim-do-i-need-to-spell-that-out/ http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/gaming/node/300 _____________________

I think it may just be waiting for a viewer to support it... You can use llSetPrimURL, and when the object is sent to clients, it'll have a parameter called MediaURL containing the URL you set... Neat

There are packages out there that will take HTML and render it as an image. You can then use the media URL to display the resulting image on a prim face that has the land's media texture on it. Not ideal (especially given the land rights needed and the one page per parcel restriction), but it CAN be done.
