Here is a simplified example how one can save changes in editable grid to the server. The code sends the modified cells to the server cell-by-cell using onCellValidated event. To finish it you have to implement updateSingleCell.php or .asp or whatever server-side code which will actually save the data. The server-side script is called via POST method with three arguments (column, row, text).
