I think the javascript solution is better, because it let you
submit a set of configuration changes atomically.

Agree.

A code snipped or implementation example would be really useful.
Well.. or even better, does somebody volunteers for this? ;-)

Hi Gunnar,

It is a usability issue, indeed.

I can think of a couple ways for fixing it: The first one would be to
remove the Apply button from the side bar and force the local "submit"
buttons to punch the configuration into the server.

The second choice would be to add some Javascript code to warn the
user if he tries to leave a modified page without submitting the
changes. Since this is the most popular behavior I guess it is simply
a better approach.

Help from skilled web developer would be greatly appreciated here.. :-)
