At one point this was an ajax app, but I discovered that it could be smaller and cleaner by just using frames.

This will be the first post in a series where I go through this code and explain it, and some of the cooler calls that it is using, as well as some advanced php and programming concepts. But for now I’m just going to give a one paragraph overview of what the code does and get it into the post. There is one other file which I will also post and explain at some point.
