Thanks Michel,
I found a solution, my mistake was trying to create the function inside :
$(document).ready(function() {
the onClick could not find the function. I have defined the function
separately and the onclick does work. Basically, I want to do the edit
action using ajax, but thanks a mil for the response!!
