						if (row.editing){
							var s = '<a href="#" onclick="saverow(this)">Save</a> ';
							var c = '<a href="#" onclick="cancelrow(this)">Cancel</a>';
							return s+c;
						} else {
							var e = '<a href="#" onclick="editrow(this)">Edit</a> ';
							var d = '<a href="#" onclick="deleterow(this)">Delete</a>';
							return e+d;

					}
				}
			]],
			onBeforeEdit:function(index,row){
				row.editing = true;
				updateActions(index);
			},
			onAfterEdit:function(index,row){
				row.editing = false;
				updateActions(index);
			},
			onCancelEdit:function(index,row){
				row.editing = false;
				updateActions(index);
			}
		});
	});
	function updateActions(index){
		$('#tt').datagrid('updateRow',{
			index: index,
			row:{}
		});
	}

To enable editing in datagrid, you should add a editor property to the columns. The editor tells datagrid how to edit the field and how to save the field value. As you can see we define three editor:text,combobox and checkbox.
