Just off the top of my head (a kind of brain dump)...

• You could have a main grid part of the form. This would be full view loaded from an action (either with an order number or not depending on loading an existing one or not).

• When clicking an event (new or edit) this could open a partial view in a "lightbox" style. This would then pass back a json object back to the main form.

• The passed json object would then be rendered using templating to the bottom of the table (for a new one) or update an existing record. This could also be saved back to the server in the same ajax call. Or just update the client side and need the user to click a save button.

• An isDirty flag will be needed so any changes set it to true and the when the browser tries to leave or close etc. then you can prompt the user to save or not.

Hope this helps.
