It all could be done with javascript. Not only the content would be returned with Ajax. Also some javascript code like the code is injected in all headers. Some of the variables: wgCanonicalNamespace, wgCanonicalSpecialPageName, wgNamespaceNumber. > Then there's the tabs. Each page has it's own set of tabs.

If people is using addOnloadHook() function to load personal stuff, the load of new content could do a call to addOnloadHook(), or call other global function so users could adapt its scripts to the different "concept" of page load. > And the last issue is with site JS...

Same as last commnet. And it's not the first time Wikia breaks our fancy features... <http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Images_in_%22sortable%22_tables> <http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Miniupload_and_image_licensing> <http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Myskin_problem> and more! :) Ok, it would be a major change, but the idea is great. just an "extension" of TabView extension <http://toys.wikia.com/wiki/TabViewTest> _______________________________________________ Wikia-l mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/wikia-l
