Multi-instance form strategy

[harryjsaddler]

I’m looking for a general strategy to implement forms for this table:

‘Status’ is a popup menu, ‘Notes’ is a text field. So far I’ve implemented this with two plain (non-Django) forms within each table row.

What I would like, if possible, is for each change (popup menu, text field) to be immediately submitted/saved ‘on change’, to avoid having a ‘Save’ button on every row.

I’m not using Django forms so that I can use the 'onChange’ parameter to enable the automatic submit.

Is this a reasonable and implementable design, or am I off track? (I’d post the HTML but it renders horribly here.

This is an ideal situation for a Django formset.

I’m not using Django forms so that I can use the 'onChange’ parameter to enable the automatic submit.

These two issues are not related. There’s nothing preventing you from using Django forms with an onChange listener.

(I’d post the HTML but it renders horribly here.

When posting code, html, error messages, or any other preformatted text, enclose the text between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you would have a line of ```, then the text, then another line of ```. This will render all such text properly.

Thanks, Ken… I was about to dive info formsets, so here goes…
