The problem is that I shouldn't refresh the leftColumn because in this
way my menu is resetted.

I think I'd solve everything easily with some frames, but I know
frames are evil ;-) and I wouldn't use them if not obligated!
Is there a way to make my pages not frames-free?
As it is javascript based, why not store the folding/expanding of certain
nodes in a cookie? Another method would be not actually loading another
page, but using javascript & a XMLHTTPRequest to load new 'inner' content
from the server in some element (rightColumn?) on the page. As it's more
difficult to make pages bookmarkable in that solution I normally don't
choose this option BTW. Be sure you have a fallback for the people without
javascript (searchbots/indexers for instance, to often overlooked).
