You're right, you don't need a form to process anything. What springs to my mind offhand is to have the link send an AJAX request to the server, to clear/set the field in question, and when you get back the confirmation, show it on the screen as cleared/set. (Most likely by getting back the data for the new value of the whole item, and updating the item's representation on the view.) -Dave -- LOOKING FOR WORK!
