I can't bind on the form.  I have 500 elements inside that form that each one
generates a different result.  They are all input for some calculations.

The full form integrates separate parts of the system with a fitting curve on
the same page of the form -- i.e. I fit those points to a curve and also do
some calculations with them based on previous results of other kinds of
analysis done on each individual sample.

I need to *see* each individual result before submitting the form.  This is
essential since it deals with human life and some tests have serious
implications to health or even show if the person was using drugs...  It can
also determinate if the water inside a shopping center is drinkable or not...
Or if the air in a factory is contaminated or not.

This is an intermediate step while we don't tie the equipments to the system.
Today they use Excel spreadsheets and have a very hard time saving records and
sharing work among the several employees.  The web interface solves these
problems because all records are properly archived and they can enter several
results for different analysis simultaneously. 

All this to contextualize and show that I need each individual value right
after it was entered :-) The calculations aren't hard and are fast to be done.
JavaScript just reads the values, call the correct server side function and
receives the values back through JSON.  The callback then updates the
interface showing the result.  There an action can be done manually or the
operator may let the system decide on what to do with the result.


Be seeing you,
