Greetings all,

A web-application issue I'm trying to solve:

Assume you have a complex web-app that requires links and input between
several web-forms.  The user can jump around.. and to make the application
compelling.. Must be able to. Here's a scenario of interest:

1) User edits page 'A' but does not submit the form
2) User jumps to page 'B' to fill in other details or lookup something
3) User returns to page 'A' expecting to see his edits.

Problem: since page 'A' was not submitted the server never saw the edits and
so reconstructs the page with the old data.  User sees this as a bug
(developer sees this as a limitation of HTML!!!).

Right now the only clean solution to this kind of problem seems to be: a)
use Java with WebStart, b)use Macromedia's Flash with server-side
extensions, c)Introduce some sort of client-side caching as part of Strut's
Form tags or d)change the layout such that the client-naturally applies
changes before proceding.

Ideas?

Thanks in advanced,
Jon
