Opinion: master detail web app?

[SuperMoonster]

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for an interface opinion here. I'm working on a master detail issue here, and I don't know how I should organize it on the web page.

I have Order and Items. Order has many items. So, when the user's adding an Order, I want him to enter all order data and then, in the same page, enter the items number.

Something like this:

- Order Id:
- Order Name:
- Order Obs:
 
Add items here:
- Item number [submit item button]

and then, when the user clicked the submit item button... the item number would clear and maybe be shown in a grid. But I have no idea on how to do it.

How do you guys do it? It doesn't have to be in a grid, any ideas to solve this will be just fine for me. A little example would be nice. I'm using struts + hibernate.

Thank you all very much

I don't think this is the right forum to post this. This forum is for pure Java questions.

What you are trying to do can have different approaches:

1.- Client-side, if it's just for displaying purposes: Try Javascript forum

2.- Server-side, if you want to store that data: try jsp/servlet forum.

Cheers,
