If a page contains a request for gif file and the gif file is a "totally separate request", how can this file be both part of the request and not part of the request?
On the one hand you seem to be saying that a variable lasts from where it is defined until the end of a page--that is, that if I define a variable on a page I can make reference to it anywhere else on that page--that is easy to understand (whether or not it actually works is a yet-to-be-discovered experiment)
On the other hand there seems to be ambiguity ion your response that calls for this word "request". If a "request" is supposed to last as long as the page on which it is made, that is a tyestable assertion.
If there is some deeper meaning to this word request, however, I would appreciate hearing it.
