How about an iframe on the same page? When you search for an item, then
click on it, the iframe is populated with the detailed data. Then, you
can submit that form, but stay on the search results as well.

Other ideas?
This is somewhat related, but I usually provide two save buttons:
Save and Close and Save and New.
Close will take you back to a list. New will submit the form and then

I've seen a number of applications which take the user back to the

I've never much cared for this approach either... In my own

Either option 1 or a confirmation page... Your updates have been saved
with a redirect to the original list page.
I generally try to use something that keeps the architecture to a minimum
and the user's experience very straightforward. If that means some extra
work for me, that's fine because
