How I handle /change only forms/

1st, I create a hidden unique field on every line of my form, and then with
a javascript onchange i set the field as changed, and then when my rpg
program gets control, i read the hidden field, to see if I need to process
the line..  I also, use the change field to warn the end users, if there
going to close the browser, or jump to a new page with unsaved data...

but, for this to work, you have to force then to use javascript, and if
there not, you have to either write all the lines back to the file, or,
create a previous snapshot of your server to compare it with, or hide the
snap shot in the clients browser, and have it pass it back to you as well...
but thats not a nice thing to do...

but to answer your question, cgi can handle this, it may not be as nice as
the built in dds commands, but there not that bad, and you can do this in
CGI (rpg or net.data) or of course in servlets as well...
