Initialization code is very simple. You just need to specify URL of the pages that accept delete requests on the server side.
$(document).ready( function () { $('#example').dataTable().makeEditable({ sDeleteURL: "DeleteData.php" }); }
One delete button needs to be placed in your HTML source. This button will be enabled each time user selects a row in the table, and disabled each time user deselects row. Id of the button has to be "btnDeleteRow".
<!-- Delete button can be placed anywhere in the page --> <button id="btnDeleteRow">Delete</button>
Plugin tries to find id of the row in the id attribute of the
<tr id="2"> <td>Misc</td> <td>Links</td> <td>Text only</td> <td class="center">-</td> <td class="center">X</td> </tr>
Server-side page that accepts delete request should return "ok" if row was successfully deleted, or an error message if operation failed. In this example, server page always returns "ok" value:
<?php //Always accepts delete echo "ok" ?>
