Change a field value from a view on the Web

We needed to be able to update a document from a view, without opening the document. I used a $$ViewTemplate and in the view column added an html field to allow the value to be changed and when changed call a JavaScript function to run an agent to change the field value and reload the form.

in the view column:
temp := @DocNumber("");
"<tr><td><input type=text  
id=chField"+ temp+ " onChange=chTAS
("" +@Text(@DocumentUniqueID) + """ +  
"," +  """ +temp   +  "") value=""+
PPriorityRO +""></td>"

in the JSHeader:
function chTAS(uid ,pval){
var f = document.forms[0];
var refer = f.HTTP_Referer.value;
if(refer ==""){
refer = "http://" + f.Cluster_Name.value 
+ "/" + f.DBName.value; 
}
var ch = "f.chField" + pval + ".value";
var npval =  eval(ch);
OpenAgent&UNID=" + uid + "&PVal=" + ch;
var strurl = refer + "/sTASPri?
OpenAgent&UNID=" + uid + "&PVal=" + npval;
this.location = strurl;
}
Agent to save document & refresh the view:
