No doubt, a url to demonstrate would have made my query more clear.

But I prefer to make the whole site ready first. Someone else pointed out
that I should test it with IE7 and a few other browsers before publicizing
it. There is a lot of js, some of it much more complicated [*] than the
story generator I spoke about, so probably he is right.

My ISP limits me to static web pages. (No ASP/CGI).

For me, info need not go back to the server in order to consider it a WWW
"application", because in general, a program need not require external
input in order to be considered a true "program".

Thank you for your input. Also, your personal web pages gave me a lot to
think about. When mine are ready, I'll drop you an email to return the
favour.

[*] For reasons pointless to go into here, I needed to write javascript
that generates the actual javascript used to create the intended
functionality.
