    I am a programmer but unfortunately I am not all that savey with html... Our designers have built our homepage but I think there is something wrong with it... our homepage is www.surch.com ... as you will see we have multiple buttons for things like MP3, Video, Directory etc... when you click on one there is an action preformed that notifies the engine that you are requesting mp3 files or a people surch etc... additionally it notifies the user by placing a "text label" below the logo but where I think there could be an improvement is how it reloads ALL the images on the page... does that make sense? isn't there a way to just change the URL and add the ascii text label without reloading the entire page? Tell me if I'm crazy or not please...

    thanks,
    surchin

    ps let me know if you designers like the site too :)

    That could very easily be done with JavaScript. I do love the site though :)

    I don't know of anything off the top of my head. There are several ways to do it with javascript. The easiest is probably to use JS to change the style of the text below the selected icon and then have a division that holds the text under "surch" that you/they can modify using innerHTML.
