Keeping the 'old' list in a persistent property of the page might help. Then on the "updated" view you can addidtionaly check if there were any new posts if you want to prevent outdated view.

On form submit, I want to check the values of some checkboxes, delete the corresponding items from a remote IMAP server, and then redisplay the page with the updated list. However, to prevent the "stale link" phenomenon, it seems I need to get the old list from the IMAP server first in order for the rewind and setting of checkbox values to function properly. Then, the form listener is called, the items are deleted, I grab the updated list from the IMAP server and redisplay it. Isn't there a way to skip the old list - just grab all checkbox values and delete the corresponding items? --Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Konstantin Ignatyev PS: If this is a typical day on planet earth, humans will add fifteen million tons of carbon to the atmosphere, destroy 115 square miles of tropical rainforest, create seventy-two miles of desert, eliminate between forty to one hundred species, erode seventy-one million tons of topsoil, add 2,700 tons of CFCs to the stratosphere, and increase their population by 263,000 Bowers, C.A.
