function driven link in HTML view

function driven link in HTML view

I have a HTML view that i have created to show me all the reports completed for the day prior, I want to be able to add a link in the HTML view that will allow me to update the status of a field in the particular record.

Example:

 "Approved (button)" is clicked > Approval field on the form is then updated to "Approved"

What I want to do with this is have in the HTML VIEW (not a zoho list view) the ability to quickly approve a large amount of records from a single screen by clicking a button. I'm not talking about bulk updating, I am fine with click the button onces per record, i just want to be able to do it from the HTML View.

Please help!!!

Thank you in advanced.
