Playing with ERD2WModern is fun. As I tried various things with Stylesheets two related questions have come to mind and I wonder wether and how this could be achieved.
A customer of mine had the problem that an embedded editor page (e.g. for relationships) has a "Save" button and when pressed everything is saved. Of course you and I know that this is not true. Data is only pushed from a child EC up to a parent. However this is not something that I think a non-IT person should know. Save is save and that's it! In the current scenario the customer lost all edits because he did not press "Save" on the outermost editor but instead chose another navigation tab.
How can this be prevented? I have two ideas and want to know if this is possible:
As long as the outermost EC hasChanges() a key in d2wcontext should be available so that some kind of mark/graphic/text/whatever can be shown conditionally alerting the user that there are unsaved changes. Additionally to optically alert the user that he is (still) inside an editing session it would be great if the surrounding screen area could be dimmed. As long as there are dimmed areas (e.g. the navigation area) the users clearly sees that he is still inside an editing session and going to any navigation tab is (at least optically) discouraged.
Any ideas?

PS I love D2WModern, the more I play with it the more I love it!
