Design Issue/Question
I have an application where a user is adding items for a customer. The
form where the user will be on will have a list of products to choose
from, and can add a product for the customer by clicking on the checkbox.
The issue I am having is that I need to have the application do an
insert into the database when the user clicks on a checkbox. What I
can't have is for the form to do a submit for each check (because of the
time it would take to re-display the page) and I can't have the user
click on all of their items and do one big submit at the end (requirements).
Is this even possible within the web and struts framework? (To have
some sort of javascript kick off to tell something to do a database
insert without submitting the form and without the user being redirected
to another page).
Thanks to anybody who may have any insight into if there is anything I
can do.

So I would create a frame on my page that has a form with the action
that I need to call? Then my javascript (onclick) would just reference
the new frame and call the submit on the frame?
Is this correct? If so, by submitting the frame there would be no
perceived effect on the page that the customer is currently looking at?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you could do it using divs aswell, the dynapi(a cross
platform dhtml library) is good for this type of thing.

I've done similar things before.
Use javascript to open an action to add it to the database. This can be in
a new window, in another frame, or in a hidden iframe!
