frames to implement one.

I don't believe I suggested frames. I do believe that my suggestion could
be adapted to a list of options on the left and results on the right,
rather than a menu; in any case avoiding the use of frames. Of course if
the use of frames is a necessity then my suggestion is of no use.

The problem is that the list of options requires a database query to be
created which can take a few seconds. I don't like the idea of recreating
the whole list each time one of the options is selected.

Looking at your page, I don't see why you need the contents of both frames
displayed at once.

Why not just add a link to the page currently in the left frame which opens
the page currently in the right frame?

I find it usefull to have both pages in front of me but you're right it's
not a necessity.

But this brings me to another quiestion:
If I would do as you suggest, you would do 'back' each time you want to
open another one of the found results. But if I do 'back' my browser
(Mozilla) says the POSTDATA has expired so he has to post it again
(instead of getting te page from cache). Can you tell me how I keep the
postdata from expiring?
