    <p>I have been going to stackoverflow for hints and tips in my programming journey but I have yet to register. . .till now.</p> <p>My question is, is it possible to update/edit mysql data which I've inserted into an html/css table without having to go to another page?</p> <p>for example: when looking at the table in my browser, I wanted to edit my email information. I could just simply press the edit button then the email field becomes a text field right on the same page then I could just update it and hit save?</p> <p>thanks!</p> <p>EDIT(added my code):</p> <pre><code>$(button#edit).on('click', function() { // get email inline to this edit button var email = $(this).parent().siblings('td.email').html(); // change button from edit to save $(this).attr('id', 'save-email').html('Save'); // change email display to input field $(this).parent().siblings('td.email').html('&lt;input type="text" id="user-email" value="'+email+'" /&gt;'); }); </code></pre> <p>and this is the table I used which is formatted with php which also grabs data from my database:</p> <pre><code>echo ' &lt;tr&gt;'; echo ' &lt;td&gt;' . $row['name']. '&lt;/td&gt;'; echo ' &lt;td&gt;' . $row['age']. '&lt;/td&gt;'; echo ' &lt;td&gt;' . $row['sex']. '&lt;/td&gt;'; echo ' &lt;td&gt;' . $row['email']. '&lt;/td&gt;'; echo ' &lt;td&gt;' . $row['contact_no']. '&lt;/td&gt;'; echo ' &lt;td&gt;' . $row['school_name']. '&lt;/td&gt;'; echo ' &lt;td&gt; &lt;button id = "edit"&gt;EDIT&lt;/button&gt;'; </code></pre> <p>nothing happens,your help is greatly appreciated!</p>

    1. COYou've tagged `ajax` which is a good start and you are on the right track! Please read up on some [ajax tutorials](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX) and if you have any problems come back with a question. Thanks!

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
