> Other ideas? I've seen a number of applications which take the user back to the form page for the item being edited with a status message at the top. I've never much cared for this approach either... In my own applications I tend to send the user back to the list page (typically not a "search" page, just a sortable list that's optionally paginated based on their user preferences -- these pages can become search pages pretty easily because the framework automates filters on their columns, so I can automatically get all the contacts with "bob" somewhere in their name by typing &membername=bob into the url.) I don't like the idea of the popup for the editor either, but then I don't consider it a big loss that the list page isn't filtered to display their item. When I'm working (and this may be a bit bigoted of me because my habbits are based on my own work habbits), I'm not generally interested in keeping tabs on the application after entering or updating a record. I hit the save/update/submit button and then _immediately_ go do something else. If the update operation didn't work or didn't work properly, I'll find that out later on. That is of course unless I happen to be testing a form update feature.
