Complex HTML/JS problem! :(

Hi!

I want to have a great looking site, similar to a WebOS experience. Anyway, here goes my description :

Two frames, divided vertically, the left one (I'll refer to it as fLeft) occupying 20%, fRight occupying the remaining.

What I wanted to happen was to have a menu on fLeft opening it's links on fRight (this is the easy part), but when the links are pressed, a "Loading" page shows on fRight and a "pre-loading" process begins of the HTML and gfx on the page the link is aiming at, with a progress bar showing on the bottom of fLeft, along with the percentage and the name of the document being loaded. Is this possible? I was thinking that maybe the links could be like "a href=javascript:link_script('foo.html','items_on_foo','item_1_description','percentage_that_item_1_a dvances_the_bar',....,'item_n',percentage_of_item_n')". This way the script could know from the link how many items to load, to show on the progress bar and how much of the total each item is!

Sounds super, but is it feasible? And IE/NN compatible ? Can script info like this transpose frames ?

Please help,
