The other important difference between ajax loaded pages and iframes is that when you click on a link within an iframe page, the returned page is loaded into the same iframe. If I am not being clear, please check out this png file. <a href="http://medicinebrain.com/iframe.png";> http://medicinebrain.com/iframe.png </a> In this png I did a search for DML Docs within a tab panel and the search results are loaded into the same tab.
BTW, I would like to simplify the zmi even more for my users. I want to hide various tabs (eg. security, find, etc) and I want to restrict the number of products they are shown in the drop down box for adding to a folder. However, I still want to offer complete zmi functionality to the overall administrator. I can probably hide the security tabs using css (the overall admin won't load the css sheet) but how can I control the products displayed to a user in the folder view of the zmi?
