Dan eluded to a big problem here, regarding the potential "exit trap" of redirecting a user to a different page. However there's even more at stake--this solution would require you to manage *two* versions of your page. Come on, we can do better than that... What you should do is create your "normal page" as is, and then write your javascript to "attach" itself to whatever things you want to AJAXify on that page. Research "unobtrusive javascript", it should get you in the right direction. The idea is, you build your page to function normally without any javascript. Then you attempt to hook up the javascript via your page's onload event (there are other methods too I believe, Google it). If javascript is enabled, then the javascript will be hooked in; if not, then no AJAX will be loaded, but your page will still function as needed. HTH, John W
