A few points: 1. you cannot reliably have content updated on the screen from information on the server (eg changing the "# of items in your shopping cart" display) without refreshing the page. options possibly include frames, iframes and javascript, but good results will be hard to achieve to say the least, depending on the viewer's browser configuration 2. unless your users are adding many many items to their cart, or page rendering is particularly slow, you'd be a lot better off refreshing the page... I've done a lot of useability testing, and in short, people feel like "something happened" when the page refreshes... this is confirmed by their cart items increasing, and possibly their total $'s. a bit of user feedback (via a page refresh and new content) may be a whole lot better for the user than saving a few seconds on a page refresh. As far as your template stuff goes, I'd keep it simple with some include()'d files, for headers, sub menus, menus, footers, etc... it makes management of content soooo easy.
