I thought about that as well, but I wanted to keep the solution 
simple. I'll give that some thought though.

I could have even used AJAX and updated the presentation to match the 
selection-controls such that the state of the button would have been 
a moot point.

However, there are situations where the EU does not want the data to 
be automatically updated "on-the-fly" but instead wants to set all 
the selection-controls first and then click Submit when ready. In 
those situations. this "Dirty Button" technique would work

Thanks for your input.
