GEN: Footnote question: MLA

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

When footnoting in MLA style --parenthetical style, e.g., (Smith, 12), what
do you do as far as page number to quote if the quotation/paraphrase is from
an article which has been taken off of:
1. an internet page?
2. a document from a subscription database (either CD or online)?

I checked out the MLA site (there's something wrong with the link to the FAQ
section!); I don't have my style manual here at home and need to prepare
something for a class.

TIA!
