Re: Edit an object without creating it

In a perfect [browser] world. I would agree with you, but I have seen browsers do some crazy ace stuff, so I don't trust the "before the form is submitted" as the end all.   

My Question is why not check the id first? It is not a whole lot of overhead. I think in the name of data integrity, I always just want to make sure.

I worked on a piece of accounting software once. We had to read and write multiple entries for a single process. Once they all finished, then we check them all again. Stuff fails. So, it's better to check. Same with product inventory values... I always check after I write to make sure the totals match, or equal 0 rather. You take it from here, and put it there. The totals of each need to reflect the change.
