Hi Clemens
Appreciate your comments. Both calls have the same target - it's the first
tag in the HTML.
The property of contenteditable has been applied to the TD so it is no
longer static, but in fact the user can edit it.
In the finished product there will be a large HTML table or grid that the
user can edit and the goal is to use an AJAX call to send the data back to
the server one cell at a time, or maybe I will loop the table object once
looking for changes. The table will be fixed length of around 150 rows.
I know all this can be done with the form generator in Web2py but I
inherited the HTML and it looks good, only problem is how to save the input
data.
My backup plan is to put a hidden form with one input and use that form
variable as a proxy to make the AJAX call. This kind of hacky solution goes
against the grain and it's seems like there has to be a better way.
