Changing table contents dynamically (and on the client)

[decoy]

Hi everyone,
Does anybody know how I can achieve the following?

I have a table that displays some information in plain text, on each
row I have an edit button that will allow the user to enter new values
for this row (basically display the same information as before but in
text boxes with the edit button replaced with a confirm button). When
the user has updated I would like to go back to the plain text view
with the new values.

Now comes the hard part

I want to do all of this clientside, allowing the user to click on a
save button when they have editting that will re-enter all of the
information back to the DB.

Sample code would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Stu.

Have a look at the following:

Demo here:

The project is Open Source (LGPL). Data is stored in semi-colon-delimited
text. No database therefore.

Best wishes,
