This snippet is helpful if you do a lot of editing on a single large admin form (for example, in a rich text field), and want to frequently save your progress. If you press control-S, or command-S on a Mac, the admin change form will save and reload, and the page will scroll back down to where you last were.
This snippet relies on jquery, [jquery.cookie](http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cookie), and the [shortcut.js](http://www.openjs.com/scripts/events/keyboard_shortcuts/) keyboard library (which doesn't use jquery, but seemed more robust than the jquery keyboard plugins I saw). It uses a temporary cookie to remember where the page was scrolled to, to avoid having to override the admin behavior.
Note: don't put this in templates/admin/change_form.html -- the circular import causes a Django crash.
*Edit: Had forgotten to include jquery.cookie, which I was already including elsewhere.*
A simple jQuery javascript that collapses all stacked inline rows for better handling of large inline fieldsets.
It also adds "Show"/"Hide"-buttons for showing/hiding each row, which could be customized and styled using css.
**Usage (see below for example):**
Include the javascript on your admin page, together with jQuery, and it'll automatically affect all stacked inlines.
**Developed for:**
* jQuery 1.3.2
* Django trunk (tested in Django v1.0.2)
* (Might work with other versions with or without adjustments, but not tested)
**Use example: **
*admin.py:*
class DateInline(admin.StackedInline):
model = Date
extra = 10
class EventAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [DateInline]
class Media:
js = ['js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js', 'js/collapsed_stacked_inlines.js',]
admin.site.register(Event, EventAdmin)

**What It Is**
This is a JavaScript-based solution to dynamically add and remove forms in formsets and inlineformsets. It requires jQuery.
Originally based on this Snippet: https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1389/
I have done a lot of work to make it OO, and am using it in production on pages with multiple inlineformsets, and even nested inlineformsets (I call it, "Inlineformset Inception").
My hope is that the code and example are enough to show how it works.
**Usage Details**
In the example usage, I am using a CSS class, 'light', to make every other form have a light background color. My form placeholder is an element with an ID of 'formset-placeholder' (the default). And the form selector is a class name of 'dynamic-form' (the default).
When I have time, I will create a GitHub repository with the code and completed examples.
