Hello MikeR Thank you for your reply. I read the article about $.ajax but somehow could not figure out a working peace of code.
Do you have an example? In PHP/HTML the link to do this would look something like this: <a href="edit.php?id=2">edit</a> What do I have to put into the a-container and what does the jquery- function look like? Any snippet would be highly appreciated!
