I think that is such a bad idea... why not just use the web like its meant
to be used? That stuff over complicates life for little reward. Just my
opinion.


I wish web browsers supported some type of templating that hooked into XML
files natively. That would be neat... but then again the web would become a
big FileMaker Pro database. :0)

You can use _javascript_ to do this. You can't use CF, by itself. You can
rewrite parts of a page using DHTML, or all of a page using document.write.
If you need to exchange data with the server, you can use frames or "pipes":

Pipe/ (originally pointed out to the list by Dick Applebaum, if I recall
correctly)
