Thanks Brent,
Appreciate that, but the main issue is that the controller does not called
from jQuery. i.e. from this line
jQuery('.EDit').editable("{{=URL('update')}}",{
There no post vars.
(have also used a brute force updates to confirm that it doesn't fire)
If we can only find out why.
(thinking is a fundamental concept that I'm missing)
Will give that another go today, but would be grateful for any hints.
