Sorry in advance for being so general and for the long post but I really don't know what I am looking for other than I need to be able to edit in place.
I have a table which I would would like to have a row of input cells underneath the table heading (not sure if a form is the correct way to go). These values will then be submitted to a database and then user will be redirected back to the table, in which a select query will be performed to show them the row they just typed in. All of this I am fully capable of no problem.
What I ask next I need much help with. First off I would like a new row of input cells underneath the row(s) being displayed. Next ,I want them to be able to click any cell in any of the row(s) being displayed and have the whole row (all the cells in the row) become active for edit. This way the change any of the cells and I can then simply resubmit back to the database to perform an update query.
I know this process is called edit in place and there are many types like
jquery, prototype, drupal, etc. I have seen some uses with plain text but never anything that involved submitting anything to a database.
Any help would be appreciated.
