[thelist] Javascript LWP ?

[Michael Pemberton]

But doesn't this still leave you with only support in browsers that can do
LiveConnect?  I am currently looking for a method of doing this on MacIE 5+
and cannot use Java do to MS being too lazy to implement LiveConnect.  They
say that they can't do it (read: "can't be bothered doing it").

Any method that allows for syncronysed data transfer without reloading would
be a great leap forward.  Any ideas you have would be appreciated.  Thanx.
