I’m a newbi YUI-PHP-MySQL hacker and really appreciate the work you’ve done and all the great comments from those with more experience. I get the php-side really well, the ajax is hazy to me.

What would really help is a consolidated example. Anyone willing to help?

Something like this:
1. Index.html with working: YAHOO.widget.DataTable.prototype.saveCellEditor = function()
2. update.php with working:
function ajax_Places_update()
With all the necessary includes from the PHP back-end article
3. Simple SQL to set up the database or at least a description of the type of database & table required for interaction.

I know I’m asking someone to do the work for me, but lots of folks appear to be searching for this starting point to build upon. I have been trying to hack together this stuff to post for about a week now and my wife is tired of hearing me curse. ;) It would make all the work you’ve already put in more concrete for those with a very basic understanding of ajax/php.

Thanks for any response you give. I understand if this is too much to ask. This is already a great resource.

You may find an example in Delete Rows By

You may find it in A PHP back end to YUI

Good example on the delete rows. But I use checkboxes so the user can select a which ones they want to delete and then they click on a “delete” button.

I am not sure how to do this.

thanks in advance!

When this was written, YUI JSON utility didn’t exist, that’s why the text says ‘user your favorite JSON parser’. Nowadays, that would be YAHOO.lang.JSON.parse but you might as well use some other of your choice.

That is as far as the article is concerned, if you have further errors, please use the YDN developers list.

I suggested:

myBuildUrl.call(this,this._oCellEditor.record)

notice the .call after myBuildUrl.
