It's perfectly doable using Ajax. I had an experimental chat module at one point that worked in PmWiki. I use an updated one now in BoltWire regularly. Not so useful, but fun. Someone that is better than I at cross browser compatibility might be able to fix it up to work on FireFox. In my experience, ajax is not terribly easy. But once you have a good functional basic module, it's pretty easy to adapt in different ways. A slide show would be really cool if you used Ajax. Other options are to use an iframe. And still another idea, if you preload all the screens, is to use simple dhtml. I've been doing a lot of fun stuff along those lines lately and been able to accomplish some pretty cool effects.
