    Hello

    Can anyone please help me in getting a button 'update' in a table to populate fields in input text fields in a form. This may sound silly but a huddle for me as a new graduate so far.. thanks!!!

    *I want to edit items on the table a table *I have decided to grab the items to be edited by and update button *This 'update' button should then populate my form, which I originally use to add the items to the table

    Bellow is my sample jps page with all form controls
