So when do I start a conversation? On each select? Or do I need to show the edit form with all fields disabled first and only enable fields when user clicks a "start edit" button ? This would be awkward interaction design and time consuming due to the extra server roundtrip. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4022297#...
