Recently I had to find a solution to something very similar. The user was
to fill in some personal info, name etc. which of course doesn't change,
then two inputs for "product code" and "description". The form is a request
for certificates, and the user may need any number of them.
It was decided we would go with the javascript "xmlHTTPreq" object. That
way the user only had to enter the unchanging info once, but the last two
fields can be refilled (they are cleared on each submision) and submitted
repeatedly without the page having to reload.
It requires JavaScript, which most other solutions also required, and the
"xmlHTTPreq" object, which in various flavours is widely supported also.
If JavaScript, or the xmlHTTPreq object are not working on the client it
falls back to a "self" php post which is almost unnoticable.
