I thought I had solved but I haven't.
Re: That means a whole different page is requested by the browser.
I get your point, you are saying when clicking a link even though the
script and navigation are in base.html it is still loading a new
instance of base.html and therefore can't keep state for jquery...
jquery only wokrs when page is in static and not navigated away
from... makes sense...
how do I store state across pages then to achieve this? save to JSON?
using seperate block nav for evey page seems like a lot of
duplication...
