Hi, i have the following problem - on my web project i will have two  
areas (components) which will change (submit) independently. However,  
the two areas will interact with each other, too, when some link is  
clicked for example . There is a rough picture of my problem at thios  
address : [http://offtype.net/image\_965035194627.gif.html](http://offtype.net/image_965035194627.gif.html) . The blue  
areas are those who work independently form one another but at certain  
actions they submit the other area. And there will be, also a scroll  
for both of the blue parts.  
So, my dilema is how to approach this situation?  
I can do it entirely with ajax, but there are more complex object  
which i have to validate, so i think they’d better be some kind of  
components. I have read about ‘Cells’, but i have not tested them.  
Moreover, cells are something which handles too small parts from the  
whole picture, and i have more elements which i want to unify as a  
component. Furthermore, what would u say about ‘components’ and  
‘Componenets’ and the difference between them?
