All actions performed by the Request Portal are handled by Ajax call-backs to the MIE, as opposed to post-backs.  Not only is this methodology faster, but the experience more resembles a traditional client-server application (namely because the screen does not get completely repainted as it does on a post-back)  The  Request Portal handles all variable states through the call-backs.
