Have you considered using layers with JavaScript? This might be a viable
solution if you can demand that your users have browsers that support layers
(HTML 4.0). You can toggle between visible layers depending on user-controlled
events.
You could use a test such as
if (document.layers) {
...stuff...
}
else ... print out browser requirements and where to get latest browser ...
This would cover you if a user has an older browser.
(Please respond directly for follow-up. I'm on digest and will not see any list
responses until tomorrow.)
