Jquery is your friend. Im not sure I understood your question but.
I hope I did understand your problem. If you use jquery you can prevent the default behaviour of your form. Instead of submitting your form and going to another page, you can prevent that and submit the data via ajax.
I don't know exactly how it works with pure javascript but with jquery its pretty simple.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
