Re: DB Maintenance Design Patterns

Nathan,

I like the presumed AJAX? to update the detail section of the page. I assume the pattern is to display a list of records and a detail section, and then onCLICK use ajax to go get the full record and display it in the detail section? How do you know what complete record to get onCLICK? Do you use the icecream key field?

A few questions:
1. How can we handle required fields? For example, I added "strawberry" but failed to enter the other fields. We need a easy way to enforce "required fields"?

2. The available field seems to be a 1/0 boolean field. It's rendered as a checkbox on detail but not on the subfile?

Thanks, Paul Holm
