Here's a quick outline of what I do. I have a form for entering in
articles. If the form is opened without an ArticleID, the ArticleID (a
hidden form field) becomes 0. But, if the form is opened with an
ArticleID, the given ArticleID is put in the hidden field.
Now, when I make my changes and hit the Save (submit) button, the script
checks the ArticleID. If it's 0, do an insert. If it's non-zero, do an
update.
