    You can just update a div in an ajaxy way, you don't need an iframe. There are definitely some things I don't like about this approach, though, namely SEO/SEM considerations - content on the fly invites poor indexing of content (i.e., no c

    5 weeks after I launched Startup Schwag it made the front page of the WSJ (attached article) as a possible indicator of the internet's next hype bubble. I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but hey, wsj aok =)
