Editing a record hyperlinked from a datable row (not inline)

Hi
Thanks for providing this fantastic library!
I've manged to get this to replace all the code I had done with only a few lines - brilliant - using the server-side method for managing 50k+ records.

I have a question I wonder if anyone could help me with.

I did have a problem with the "datatables/media/css/demo_table.css" where the next/previous and pagenuber links wouldn't stay inside CSS DIVS, but I solved it using the Beautiful_tables CSS, which works brilliantly.

My question is, whether there is an existing plugin to create an EDIT function for any line? I don't need/want to edit inline in the table - I want to be able to click on a row, then click on EDIT, to popup a Window to edit that row (which will have all the fields for any record, not just the ones that are displayed in the table. So I get a form, with all columns for the selected row, that is editable? My table has maybe name, email address, but the form I need to edit will give me access to the entire record???

Thanks in advance!

cheers!

    Hi Ian,

    I'm afraid there isn't currently a plug-in that provides this ability. It is something I am considering writing at some point in future (possibly as a premium plug-in), but at this time I'm afraid it would require a little custom code.
