> heh i'm sleepy i guess Actually, dependant upon the application, I could see a situation where it might be beneficial to take the contents of a single input field and pass or submit them to an action page in the onblur() event of the field, thus making allmost all visible content always current, and eliminating the need for a submit or save button. The only drawbacks are that it makes "undo" a little unwieldy and has the potential to drastically increase bandwidth and server resource usage as a result of sending dozens if not hundreds or thousands of page requests for such a tiny amount of data. But the idea is interresting and possibly viable, given circumstance.
