---------------------------------------
Eisbruchs -at- aol -dot- com asks about unchanging urls in address windows:
What is going on on websites structured like
this? Why doesn't each page have a unique
address? If I want to direct someone to
a specific page on this website, do I need to
tell them which options to click to get to
the desired page? Or is there any more direct
way to get them to the page in question?
---------------------------------------

They're probably using frames. So, the first page of the site is the "parent" frame, and each page you jump to is in a "child" frame. That's the only way I can think of off hand. As for bookmarking specific pages I don't know if you can do that. What you can do is do a view source to track the linking, and then just enter the correct path for the correct page in the address window. Does that make sense?
