Hmmm ... I may want to rethink the db and interface design a bit. There are only 4 items that the operator needs to enter at the beginning of the test session: a name, an equipment identifier, an ip address, and a port number. There are not all that many possible values for any of these items (except the ip address).
It might make or sense for me to present a sequence of forms, one for each item. If the operator tries to enter something not in the db, I could redirect to a page that asks for confirmation and does the insert. Is there a way to access the value they tried to enter within the form.errors clause? Thanks!
