Although I haven't actually researched how Amazon does this,
it is possible to do this sort of thing using remote 
javascripting(A fancy title for posting to a hidden iframe).

Here is one link that talks about it.

Not really.  I have a particular website in mind.  That site uses
well-formed HTML (not declared as xhtml, but as close as I can get without

layout without tables.  Goal of all this is to make it maintainable, *and*
to make it very, very easy for a customer to browse.
