One can do this kind of thing with JavaScript. The Alert function makes a
popup you have to click on.
At http://vancouver-webpages.com/ I made a page that uses onMouseover
to scroll a preloaded frame using in-page links. Since it's in the browser
cache it works much faster (at least on my 66MHz box) than a real popup
or Java applet, etc.
With XML I think you will be able to extend the markup language to
do this kind of thing more elegantly.
