Usually people do this kind of thing using javascript in the browser.
This reduces the number of queries to the server, and also improves the
responsiveness of the page since the user does not have to wait for a
response from the server when she changes something in a form.

Then use the POST method in the form.  Zope will treat a GET (the
default) or POST the same way.
