Approach in developing some customizations with jQuery

Approach in developing some customizations with jQuery

Hi,

I am fairly new in trying to cut up and customize a jQuery plugin, previously I was able to just grab code from various blogs and did not really have to dive into the js but now I am unable to find any good resources with this particular plugin.

The plugin I am working on is jQuery.sheet, http://www.visop-dev.com/jquerysheet.html, and although it has most of the functionalities that I want, I need the plugin to be able to send a AJAX request as soon as the user edits the cells and then update that input in the mysql table in the back on the fly. currently his plugin works by doing a hard save by invoking a save function.

I have taken a look at the massive code in jquery.sheet.js but I really have no idea where to begin. The developer doesn't reply my emails either so I was wondering if anyone here can point me in the right direction. I figure a seasoned jquery ninja can look at the js file and can see how the code works when users click to edit a cell. I am still trying to figure that part out...let alone trying to add ajax requests...

Thanks in advance
