[thelist] Carrying Javascript values over

[Karl Bunyan]

You could set/retrieve values in JavaScript cookies by storing page
state data every time the page is interacted with and then restoring it
onload. I wouldn't say it would be 100% robust tracking visible/hidden
div's shouldn't be too much of a problem.
