I have done something like this via frames. Set the TARGET to be a small
"status line" frame at the bottom of the screen, and perform your validation
and updates there. If there's an error or validation failure, you haven't
moved from the main window that the user entered the info in, and they can
fix it. If it succeeds, send back (in that small status bar) an "OK" message
and a Javascript command to refresh the main window with the updated data.
