Update table cell after link click

Update table cell after link click

Hello,

I have a table with rows and in each row there is a cell which shows the status of the row item.

<a href="#" id="<?php id ?>" class="status_button">Online</a>

When I click the link in a row the next code is activated (found it somewhere on the net).

$(".status_button").click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var dataString = 'id='+ id ;
var parent = $(this).parent();
   
$.ajax({
   type: "POST",
   url: "toggle_ajax.php",  //updates the database
   data: dataString,
   cache: false,

   success: function()
   {
    if(id % 2)
    {
    parent.fadeOut('slow', function() {$(this).remove();});
    }
    else
    {
    parent.slideUp('slow', function() {$(this).remove();});
    }
  }
  
 });

The effect is that the status is changed in the database (toggle_ajax.php) and the table cell is removed (cell's on the right of this cell are moved 1 place to the left).

The effect that I want to get is that the cell is update with the new status.

How can this be accomplished?
