Now that has possibilities. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
Probably because I had my head stuck on stateleseness when in fact I'm
not hitting the server at all so that should work and I think it's going
to be the best solution.

I agree. It seems like overkill when simpler solutions should be
available but I'm grasping at straws.

Unfortuntely object_id is not unique.
I changed the view to do this
<%-list_form_id = "list-form-#{f.object_id}"-%>
<%-edit_form_id = "edit-form-#{f.object_id}"-%>
which is fine for existing records.
It's also fine for the first new record but subsequent new records show
the same object_id as the first new record.
This is the result of inspecting the HTML source (firebug) on my test
data with 3 new records added after making the above change.
You can see that the last 3 all have the same ID
