I have a form which has elements triggered by previously filled fields

I would like certain fields to trigger the SAVE functionality onChange, then refresh the form view that the user is CURRENTLY ON without reloading the page. I can alter the value of individual fields with an onChange request, but not attempted to fire the view.save function

Is this possible? Has anyone accomplished this or is the Joomla framework too rigid to allow it without hacking core component? I am guessing it will actually require a recode of the save function

Try playing with:
BTW: this is the type of code utilized by the "save" of a modal form

When you open a form in modal, if you click "Save and Close" then your form is fully sent in Ajax. And the response is checked to know if staying on the page, or closing the modal. This is already in Ajax in your component.

(BTW there is an issue with AJAX files uploads at the moment.)

If you click Save, or Save and New, then the page is called in normal request because in both case it will keep the modal open, so JS do not deed to call in ajax.

Look in the JDom assets (toolbar.js) There you will find the Ajax features.

Arff, I see your answer now.
Perfect answer, shorter and better than mine.
