[Israel.pm] Next/Previous item from database

[Omer Zak]

What widget are you using to display the words?
Maybe you can store extra data in the widget's data structures and 
retrieve it back later?

If your widget is a piece of HTML code, then you can add to each field 
displaying the word two hidden fields - one holding the previous word 
and one holding the next word.
When the user presses NEXT or PREV button, have the button send to the 
server the contents of the hidden field corresponding to the selected word.

DISCLAIMER:  I am not fluent in client-side scripting languages and I 
don't know if they have unexpected gotchas or limitations, which prevent 
the above idea from being realized.
