case but wanted to check with the experts...
I'm not considering myself an expert especially on AJAX, but I second
Derek's analysis.

The short answer is, AFAIK, probably "no". That said, I am sure there
are some flowscript gurus who might show a way to do this with
continuations?
The right answer might be "don't" i.e. if a user has changed an item
in a list, why take him back to a previous version of the list which
will not show his changes?
An alternative longer answer might be that you need to use some clever
browser-side Javascript to manipulate the list values *inside the page
it is displayed* (i.e. do not send the user off to a new page with
another form) to make it appear like an "instant" change while, in the
background, you use AJAX to send off the changed value. Without
knowing more about the specifics of where you get the data from, where
it goes to, and how it is validated etc. its not possible to flesh
this out further.
Sidebar: I have come across a number of articles recently which point
out how poor the web is for dynamic applications and yet that seems to
be what we are forcing ourselves to tackle. Square pegs in round holes?
