I'd like to propose that all fields (checkboxes,textfields,select menus etc) with submitOnChange=>true have a submitonchange class applied to them - perhaps a blue border?? - so that they are visually identified.

I ask this because changing these fields without knowing that they do something, and then proceeding to change/fill other fields before the submit is complete often loses data or leads to errors.
This happens because some submits may run complex routines, or the connection may be slow .
Although checkboxes to alter the palette are generally fast, selects that alter the palette are slower.

Anyway, an obvious visual clue that "something is going to happen if i change this, and i need to wait for it to complete" would improve useability IMO.

Cheers guys, murray.
