There are a number of good client-side technologies that can be used. The problem is that they work best and sometimes only if the DOM stays loaded. If pages are constantly being reloaded this ends up destroying and recreating the DOM. Gerry Reno --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > -Original

The way I look at this for something like your graph example is that it is just as easy to generate this graph in the first request. Once in the browser the user then can then normalize, maximize the portlet as many times as they want without requiring any additional trips to the server. It is
