Web 2.0 or "that stuff Google Maps uses") would be suited for. It wouldn't even be all that difficult to accomplish, I don't think. Google on "AJAX" and "Web 2.0" for ideas. Chances are someone has the code you need to steal out of the box. And the advantage to the AJAX solution? It's all open standards based stuff. Javascript is a standard (a.k.a. ECMAscript), the asynchronous acquisition of data is W3W standard and it works off of the W3W standard DOM to modify the data in the browser. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- Michael T.
