Oops, sorry, I meant to give a couple of examples (above) of existing approaches to maintain user UI state. [1] involves page refresh so it has the flickering problem, and [2] is custom-built data over AJAX, which is neither bookmarkable nor easy to implement. You could add other variants of [2] that are bookmarkable (e.g. Gmail) but all involve a custom, complex, server-and-client framework. Of course, there's also framesets/iframes, but that also requires server content tailored for this interface -- and it breaks bookmarking. Nelson Menezes http://fittopage.org
