Yeah this should work, If i can't find an alternative I most likely will take
this approach. But I was hoping to find a solution that didn't require me to
code a lot of logic using js in the client side. It seems a lot easier if I
can just specifiy the actions with a few controls and the rest is processed
at the server side.
