[FX.php List] Editing multiple records

[Dale Bengston]

Another way to approach this is to pass the record information to an  
AJAX (JavaScript) function that edits the records in succession  
without reloading the page. This is a great method for allowing edits  
to a list of records without having to reload the page for every  
record, or run FMP looping scripts on the server side. I'm using this  
to great success, even with FMU6.
