[Javascript] Saving pages (a different solution)

[Roger Roelofs]

You could build the page on the fly by saving your data to a .js 
file...something like

// data.js
data = new Array();
//                  ID,     Model,       Price...
data[0] = new Array('XP101','MegaSew101','450.00');
data[1] = new Array('X205','MiniSew205','250.00');
...

Build a generic page that includes the data.js file.  Then customize the 
page on the fly based on which model the user chooses.

The big downside is that data sets of more than about 500 rows can be 
sluggish on older machines.  I confess that I typically load the data 
into a bare page in an invisible frame so I don't have to re-request it 
from the server more than once per session.
