What is the best solution for saving the contents on a editable grid. I want the contents to be saved on for example when someone clicks the sort column.
Now if they click the sort, all entries disapear and I am afraid that someone will do this so I want it to save periodically.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

OK, how about can I call the submit button before a postback, if so how?
Thanks

Couple ideas on periodical form submit found via Google:

I'm only not sure how would you deal with validation errors during such temporary submit/save.
Submitting the page and sorting/redirecting at the same time is probably not confirming to HTML standards and could be unreliable, if at all possible. Though maybe you could try some "tricks" using frames, IFRAME, DIV, Ajax. There are vast resources on the Internet covering such general topics.

An alternative would be some Javascript to detect if there are any changes. If there are, pop up an appropriate warning message asking for confirmation.
They discuss this here: http://www.aztec-it.com.au/article.php?story=20041022095620298 and http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1263118&page=1 has some code (ignore the top, the post at the bottom by jmille34) to automatically detect changes in a form. You could trigger this by putting in an onclick event on the sorter links, or even loop through all the links on the page during page onload to set the onclick event.
