To make the page work without full page loads, you're probably going
to have to use Ajax (or I suppose make the whole thing Flash or
something...).
Not an expert on the topic (yet), but if you do need to learn it I
would highly recommend a slim volume called "Bulletproof Ajax" by
Jeremy Keith. They guy's an outstanding technical writer, and very
good at not making his books any thicker than absolutely necessary. :)
