We normally make heavy usage of:
- javascript
- dhmtl
- style sheets

that allows you to make pages which are highly interactive. and I 
always recommend to open an own window for mapping applications - we 
want to see "as much map as possible" and not all of the "junk" around 
the browser and have to scroll etc. etc. ...

downside: compatibility can be an issue, especially with very old 
browsers (however it does not work on DOS and OS/2 either ...) ...

- see www.ortsplan.ch, in 4 languages ... no danish :-(
- see www.swissgeo.org, in 10 languages ... no danish :-( and no 
mapserver :-(( - (mapxtreme)
- or www.mapserver.ch for more examples ...
