There would be at least 100 row items they would have to go through, it would a large wall of text, and am trying to help them out with at least that aspect. 2) I would like the data to be saved at least in the session scope. In case the user has to move to a different page, the information they entered would still be there. Ideally, I would like to save the data and recall / fill in the values so that they can come back, let's say the next day, and continue where they left off.

Marty, Depending on your mail provider and client, often you will not get a copy of the message you sent. I got one email on this thread from you that started If this application is multi-user consider that the [...] and of course this one that I am replying to. If you reply to a large thread, often the HoF mail server will let you know that you sent a large post and it didn't appreciate it, but it by no means blocks it. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 7:51 AM, Marty Franklin ma...@assetresearch.comwrote: Hello, It appears my posts do not appear on this list?

Re: Code Design help
Thanks guys appreciate responses. I recalled a different behavior so I assumed I was blocked. As always thanks for the education.

Re: Code Design help
If this application is multi-user consider that the session scope is not shared. Why not trigger an ajax call on blur. You could tack this event all your input fields really easily using jQuery. Good Luck!
