While writing this, at the back of my mind, I was aware that it was nothing
new. What I didn't know was if it was documented elsewhere or not.
You can guarantee that there are people out there who didn't know of that
article (me for one). No matter how many times you reproduce something it will
always reach a new audience.
Hopefully my article brings something new to fray as well. Like the use of CSS
and a separate form that can work while the form on which it lives is in edit
mode.
The trouble with that IBM download, as well as others I've seen, is that they
are not very "real world".
Download that accompanying database from the sandbox and have a play with it.
Notice how there's only ever one <form>. Note the hard-coded file names!
So, yes, I'm covering old ground. But, I'm doing it in an accessible way that
you guys can actually go away and use in a "real world" situation.

Thanks for bursting my bubble ;-)
