JavaScript/jQuery Data Grid - Row Editing and Editing Events

The JavaScript DataGrid allows users to edit data in multiple modes. This demo shows the "row" edit mode. To start editing any row, click "Edit" in it. Only one row can be in the edit state at a time.

To enable row edit mode, set the mode property to "row" and assign true to the editing object's allowUpdating, allowAdding, and allowDeleting properties.
