Table help<td> - El Forum - 03-25-2009

This may be a very basic question, but understand that i'm trying to learn CI, HTML, PHP and whatever else all at the same time.
I'm making progess, but have a long way to go.
So. What i want to do is retrieve records from a database and load into an HTML table(unless something else is better suited) but instead of going to another view to do an edit, i want to edit the table directly.
Is this possible? Is it overly complicated for a newb?
btw i can load my data to my table, i just don't know how or if i can edit it directly.
examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yes.

If you're new to All Of This Stuff, it's probably good to start with separate views for separate functionality, and then later try to merge those - it involves an amount of abstraction that's just too confusing, I find, when you're trying to learn lots of other crafts at the same time.
That said, check out [url="http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/108698/"]this thread on Insert and Update in the same view[/url] - it might give you some pointers on doing this.
