Another huge problem with Aiki forms: 1. The form is displayed and processed on the same page in the same widget 2. Values entered in the form are often part of the page the form is on 3. Values taken from the form are often rendered before the form is processed
Therefore 4. After submitting a form, parts of the page can be out of date and not reflect the current state of the database. How would you address this problem?
