Question

This might be an easy question, but I am trying to come up with a solution for editing. For example a list of names is shown on a page and when the edit button beside each name is clicked, a dialog would popup showing all the details of that user, with a save and cancel button. I want the dialog to have a “tip” which points to the user being edited.

thanks,

You could use a modal form, like this example taken from jQuery ui site.

Once i did something like you need to do with a modal dialog: i had a lot of rows of a table and used modal dialogs to modify additional informations, each dialog of course contained a clear reference to the row i was editing
