Have a hidden field in the form for primary key say

Also have a Primary key field for each row appended with index.
if you are using one Edit button for each row use the following script.

You can generate the below code easily using JSP for loop.

<form>
<input type="hidden" name="pkey"/>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="key0" value="kkk"/></td>
<td>...all your row data</td>
<td><input type="button" name="edit1" on click="return submitform(0)"/>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="key1" value="xxx"/></td>
<td>...aall your row data</td>
<td><input type="button" name="edit0" on click="return submitform(1)"/>
</tr>
.
.
.



function submitform(var index) {
vay keyFieldName="key"+index;
document.forms.form1.pkey.value= document.getElement By Id( keyFieldName );
document.forms.form1. submit ();
}
