David:

No problem returning text either.

You just need to figure out how to use AJAX (actually AHAH) to send 
commands from the client-side browser to the server-side php script 
to do something. After which, the php script then returns the 
required text (HTML) that a client-side Javascript routine via DOM 
scripting uses to alter the current page DOM presenting a different 
layout to the browser/user.

The HTML is there and so is the Javascript. The only thing you need 
is the slave.php script that receives the commands via a GET (see the 
Javascript routines).

The slave.php script simply takes the command and then sends back the 
HTML needed to create the next page.

It's very simple. You should be able to do this  (I figured it out) 
-- if you can't, then I am available for hire.  Please contact me 
off-list.

Cheers,

tedd
