Hello, I have form that a user updates, it contains 5 html select boxes. The page loads and dynamically populates the select boxes with data from the database. Now the user can change any value of any select and hit "Update" now all the changes are applied to the database to reflect that change. The question I have it .. on three of the select boxes .. if the data is changed I require a extra function to get run. So for example if the "owner" value is changed I want to send a e-mail to the new owner. For performance should I just pass a hidden value with the original owner and compare that with the owner value of the select box OR should I do another db select to see if the field changed ??? I was thinking that passing a string would have less of a performance impact ? then db activity. ?
