I am working through the examples in a Django book that I have, but the book was written for 0.96 and I am using 1.0.2, yeah, I know, not the best idea. But reading Django's "porting your apps from 0.96 to 1.0" doc has cleared up most of the differences for me. Until I get to the point where I need to implement inline editing of a second...

The user selects the pathogen, which requires the id to be passed back through django to the database for further retrieval of more data. Please see h...
