Well, I have numerous categories such as Hard Drive, MOtherboard, etc. So
on the first page, they choose the category they want to edit. If they
choose motherboard, it will show them maybe 10 motherboards. Every part of
the database is in an input field so they can go through and edit every
price. In this industry as you know, prices are changing constantly. It
would be so tedious to edit these prices one by one. Thats why I want to
do it this way. If I can get a list of 20 CPU's and edit all the prices
and click submit, it would really speed up this arduous task.
