I haven't seen anything like this implemented in django, and presumably the reason for that is django lacks anything like ASP.NET's ViewState. It's easy enough to make a table with templates, but it's not easy to make a "control" within a page maintain its state like you can in ASP.NET. In my experience, though, you don't *really* need it that often. The ViewState trick is neat for what it is, but it's rare that I have so many controls on a page that it's unreasonable to persist their state in the query string. Doing it that way has the added benefit of allowing the user to copy the URL and get back to the same view. It would probably even be possible to get most of the functionality you want (using the query string) encapsulated in a template tag. I've thought a couple of times about trying to do that, but haven't had enough of a need to actually do it. -- Brian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
