Couple other ideas: 1) make your page one large form, with field names like caption#imageId#, and then process them all when you submit. Going this route, I'd still probably page the gallery into batches of ten or so, just to make it more managable.
2) keep the per-image forms, but use JS Remoting to send the updates to the server asynchronously per-form. You still get your persistance, at a per-image level, but you don't have to deal with reloading the page. cheers, barneyb On 7/8/05, John Munyan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, my website has a series of pictures that make up a hike - a photo gallery > essentially.
