Hi Brad, 

I've used the iframe solution on a project, as well. It worked for me.
However, I think there are some drawbacks. You loose visual control over what's going 
on in the hidden iframe. I loaded .jsp into the iframe that wouldn't even compile and 
didn't notice, because I didn't see the compiler error. :-(

All in all it feels more like a workaround than a solution. It adds complexity to 
debugging and you have to rely heavily on JavaScript - another source of trouble, to 
be sure. Do you have to support multiple user agents / versions?

Some things you should ask yourself:
# What happens if the user decides to abort the transaction? (How are you going to 
delete entries form DB?)

# Does it *really* make sense to do a trip to the db for *every* time the use clicks a 
checkbox?

# What happens if user that clicks faster than your average request/response 
roundtrip? That's not too hard to imagine.

I think you're buying into more problems than you solve, actually.

Just my penny's worth.

Regards,
Nils
