Hi,

I’m using the classic in\_place\_editing plugin now.  
Is it possible to update a column in a table at once?  
For example, I pick several records by checkbox and under all records  
there is a row which is empty. I can enter values in this empty row and  
click ok. thus, all records which i pick are updated and refresh on the  
screen by javascript.

Is it possible by using in\_place\_editing plugin?

Thanks a lot

Matt
