Hi! I am Siddharth, a web developer/ designer based in Chennai with expertise in C#, Python, CSS and JavaScript . I resort to using jQuery when I don't feel like writing raw JS. I am passionate about web technologies and video games and I really think code *is* art. You can follow me if you want.

A Word From the Author

With all the buzz around Web 2.0, ease of use is now much more important than ever. Being able to edit some content without having to go to another page is something a lot of users really crave. A lot of big names are already using this pattern to great effect. If you've used Flickr, you've probably seen this in action.

Today, we are going to improve on the earlier version: weeding out some bugs, adding some features, and, more importantly, saving all the data to an actual database for retention. Interested? Let's get started right away!

Prepping the Database

First up, we need a database to pull in the information from and then, when required, update the data it holds. For the sake of this exercise, let us setup a table with some random data.

I already had a database named inplace with a table called data on my development server. For our use we'll add another table.
