Siva, I misunderstood your need so my previous reply was wrong. Another option (besides Bob's suggestion) is to use Dynamic HTML devices like Cascading Style Sheets and the <LAYER> tag.. The LAYER tag allows you to superimpose one object on top of another so that it appears that only a small portion of the "original"/larger item has changed. Netscape has a good writeup in their DEVLOPERS area.
