While testing a Master/Detail page, I made some changes to a Record, but then selected another record from the master list (Grid), and lost my changes as I'd forgotten to Submit.
My fault, due to many years of using MS Access, which auto-saves records transparently.
Is there a method that anyone can suggest, to either Auto-Save a record, or warn a user, if changes have been made to a record without Submitting, before allowing the app to go to the next selected record?

1. Add a hidden field 'Modified' (or a graphic as I have done) to the form, with id="Modified".
2. For each editable field in the form, add a Client side (ie, Javascript) OnChange event. In this event call a function 'SetModified'.
3. For the Insert and Update buttons, add an OnClick event that calls function 'ClearModified'.
4. In the Links in the Master Grid, add onclick="CheckModified()".
In this example, I have used a small "Edited" graphic that becomes visible once the user has changed any field: <img id="Modified" style="VISIBILITY: hidden" alt="Record Modified" src="img/modified.gif">
If you use a hidden field instead, just set it's value to Yes or True, and change the following code appropriately.
function SetModified() {
document.getElementById("Modified").style.visibility="visible";
}
function ClearModified() {
document.getElementById("Modified").style.visibility="hidden";
}
function CheckModified() {
if (document.getElementById("Modified").style.visibility == "visible") {
if (confirm("The record has been modified. Save it?")) {
document.getElementById("ClientDetail").submit();
}
}
}
