==== The Edit Modal ====
When you select a line, you are in the dataTables software, but the AltEditor software now kicks in activating what it calls a '''Modal'''. For our purposes, it is probably more friendly to describe it as three buttons seen above the table, and
Before you select the line, only the '''Refresh''' button is enabled. That basically just reloads the dataTables part of the web page without a need to reload the whole web page.
*'''Edit a line''' button - brings up a dialog with a HTML form▼
Whenever you select a line, the other two buttons (for editing that line and for deleting that line) are enabled:
** In this HTML form there are labels and input fields.
** These labels and inputs will now be filled with text, this includes the current contents of each field in the line (where these appear depends on whether this is first or second edit of the line as described below)
**Scroll down and you will see some footnotes.
** Below
*#''Save Edit'' will send the edited line back to the MX engine where the log file is then read into an array, and the relevant array element is replaced by the line received. After that the log file is overwritten from the amended array. After that the log file as a whole is converted back to dataTables format and returned by the api that delivered the table originally.
*#''Close dialog''. You can close this dialog in 3 ways:
*##Clicking the small '''x''' at the top right
*## Clicking anywhere outside the dialog
*'''Delete a line''' button -
**Scroll down to the footer and find two buttons:
*#'''Delete''' - that confirms that you want the api to send back to the mX engine a message delete this line
