Nothing fancy happening here, really. Every link is actually going to a completely separate page. It's just that because the images and stylesheet are small and easily cached, the page appears to stay staic and only the content changing. One of the advantages of separation of content and presentation: easy cacheability.
(oh, to check that I'm not a raving lunatic: go to one of the pages, then clear your cache, and click another link...see how the page is built up again) Patrick __________________________________________________________________________ re�dux (adj.): brought back; returned. used postpositively.
