A couple options XML and remote scripting.
With XML you can send the data to the client tier or browser. At which point
using a XML parser, you can query the the XML document and also insert and
delete from it. When all modifications are complete you can post it back to
the server.
You also could use Remote scripting. Remoting scripting allows you to make
round trips to the server without updating/refershing the current page in the
browser. This is accomplished via the use of a Java applet that proxy the
info xfer. RS 1.0 comes with MS Interdev ... or visit Microsoft:

There might be other options open also. However, I would tend to keep things
simple (KISS). The added complexity will open browser compatibility issues
along with increasing the level a maintenance etc.
Good Luck,
Bill
