Thanks for the suggestion. I am very new to Ajax, as I don't know javascript
very well, but I am trying to learn it to implement on my site, which would
make things much more flexible for me. Do you have any practical examples of
the prototype Ajax functions for me to look at? I have looked at the
scattered documentation, but being unfamiliar with javascript (I work with
php and am just mastering that recently) the examples are a bit "abstract"
to me. I understand the concepts, but putting it into practice is a little
different.... currently I am rethinking my site because it is really slow (a
combination of the javascript libraries, the php parsing time and the actual
size of the images etc.), and wanting to make it more "ajax driven". I have
been able to implement the Ajax.Updater for loading content into divs etc.
but I am still researching how to load styles and javascript on the fly....
Any help is appreciated, although I don't expect any of you to take that
time in helping me... (some links would be very helpful) :). I am just
explaining all of this so you can understand at what level I am thinking.

Thanks once again,

Issachar Brooks

Hi, jumping in here...

Do you really need to load this window as a url? It sounds like you are
doing a fair amount of work inside the new window anyway, why not simply
build the whole thing in the parent context and skip the whole "new
context" problem?

I started a few weeks ago with the idea of making fairly simple pages
and then loading them into a window via the url method. I quickly found
that the communications between the inner and outer contexts became very
unwieldy. I am now trying to write everything in the same context,
loading content, javascript and even css via ajax calls and stuffing it
into divs inside windows created on the fly. I like this approach much
better. There are still a few cases where I need to use the url method,
but these are surprisingly few.

Try reexamining your basic problem and your troubles may go away.
