Answer 1

Probably the easiest way would be to give each <tr> an id based on the id of the current record then use JavaScript to post to the delete routine (which will be held in a separate ASP file), then hide the row by changing the style.display.

<tr id="row<%= rs("recordId") %>>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>
        <input type="button" value="Delete" OnClick="deleteRow(<%= rs("recordId") %>);"
    </td>
</tr>

And the JavaScript could be something like...

var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();    // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari...
else xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");      // code for IE6, IE5

function ajaxPage(postPage, paramList) {xmlhttp.open("POST",postPage,false);xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");xmlhttp.send(paramList);return xmlhttp.responseText;}

function deleteRow(id) {
    ajaxPage("deleteFunctionPage.asp", "id=" + id);
    document.getElementById("row" + id).style.display = "none";
}
