As compared to your post, which was entirely helpful.

The issue of statefulness was completely relevant, as it was necessary
to support the suggestion I made later in the email; namely, to use
cookies in some shape or form. If you could maintain variables for a
domain somehow within one javascript instance throughout the entire
browser session, then there would be no need for this suggestion,
because this is precisely what cookies do.

Thanks for your contribution,
