Before I knew about the tag that's on Macromedia's exchange, I also
wrote a custom tag to use HTMLDOC. It's free to use and open source here:

From what I can tell, the functionality is pretty much the same.

Just in case you wanted a tag where you could adjust the source as
needed. =)

Warm regards,
