Hi Chris,
I totally agree that this is functionality that should be handled on
the server side but unfortunately the brief is to deploy this to end
users who won't have access to any server side trickery. As such I'm
pretty much stuck with attempting to script this on the client side.
In doing so any end user can also distribute these pages via CD-ROM
(for example) and have the pages still work. Users without JS will
simply see the noscript content telling them about the limited
functionality of the page they are viewing.
Thanks for your comments.
Tim.
