Maybe some one knows what I mean). > I'm not that HTML, DHTML or javascript expert but the portal is transformed by a stylesheet into HTML, so you can add there any HTML,javascript etc. directives you want. AFAIK it is possible to perform many operations on the client-site, like minimizing or rearranging the pieces of information. But at some time the server needs this information in order to update the profile on the server and save it persistent. The current portal demo was designed without the need of javascript (apart from the logout) as many customers want plain HTML, so this is the way it is now. But I should be no problem for an HTML expert to change this.
