Ian (your JHS question), There is a facility in javascript in the browser called shared memory. JHS uses this in a very limited way, but I have always wanted to revisit it to see what else could be done.
One page setting shared memory can trigger an event in the javascript of the other page. Is this of interest? The existence of javascript shared memory has kept a low profile, but the resources documneting its use are more that adequate.
