On: Why human societies developed so little during 300...

I can confirm. Regarding SPA in early days (before XMLHttpRequest): no one is doing that way, we can't find another developer thinking like that to help you, are you sure?.. (and browsers bugs)

[Aeolun → thro1]

Are you talking about iFrameHttpRequest?

[thro1 → Aeolun]

  if(nn4)document.layers[dst].src=url;
  if(ie4)frames[buf].document.location=url;
  ..
  if(ie4)document.all[dst].innerHTML=frames[buf].document.body.innerHTML

I prototyped in Netscape Navigator.. had to fix it for IE. Couldn't it be <a href="part.htm" target="dst"> just from the beginning ? - but what you got is AJAX, JS addictions and no caching.
