So what do you suggest. SERIALIZE/UNSERIALIZEing all relevant variables and
storing them in a directory / SQL-Database?

The way I have done it is to send the JS Script data with other HTML in a
"<script>" section with an ID and then

eval(document.getElementById(ID here).firstChild.data);

Maybe a solution if you want to bundle data and avoid server traffic. Is
this cross-browser?

Is this cross-browser?

Don't worry, our developing speed is ten time slower... Thanks,
