Using form in a table

Hi,

I have a table very similar to a typical shopping cart and I want to show quantity in each record in a little box for user to adjust the quantity. I'm stuck after figuring out how to show a box in the table. It just that the more I dig into form, the less I'm convinced form is the right tool for this operation. Especially the form parameters 'Method' and 'Action' tell me it's for sending e-mail data instead for user I/O like the one I want. Can experienced developers point me to the right direction? Good references? Sample Codes? Alternatives?

Yes, I know a few server side languages. I am a non-internet type of old fashioned programmer on my way to a beginning internet programmer. I pop around the web page and not sure what to do with it.

Okay you need to learn either PHP or ASP depending on which server your own (Linux for PHP, ASP for Windows) They both can handle forms dynamically letting you do whatever you want with the input.
