    <p>Quick Express.js question. I've been building a simple rpg charactersheet app over the past couple of days to get my feet wet with node, express and web programming in general. Anyway I'm stuck on something that I suspect is simple but I haven't been able to find an answer to yet. Basically I have a form built that holds stat values so let's say x, y, z. OK, then I have a button that rolls against one of those stats, basically rolling dice and adding x, y, or z depending and returns the value. All right, everything up to that works fine what I'm getting stuck on is figuring out how I can refresh a single input textbox without clearing the rest of the form, specifically when I return the di roll I want to input that value in the 'results' textbox but keep the values static in x, y, z.</p> <p>I've tried a few different things like putting the result textbox on it's own partial and rendering that partial but that then removes the rest of the page (rendering only that partial) I can render the entire index and get the result to populate but that wipes the rest of the values for x, y, z.</p> <p>In a case like this what's the best practice to achieve that goal? Should I write out the values for x, y, z to an array and pass them back when I pass back the results? I'm quite sure that would work but it doesn't seem like the most efficient way to do things.</p> <p>Should I be implementing the refresh of the results box on the client side instead after the server's returned the results? If so how would I do that?</p> <p>Thanks, logos</p>
