Edit record from html view

Edit record from html view

How can i create a link in an html view that will allow me to edit a record?

I figure its a simple a href, but i don't know what the link url is?

Also, is it possible to make a link that would change a field in a record?

Example:

A list of records is shown in an html view. Each record has some information and  two buttons. One "paid" and "not paid" these refer to one drop down menue that has two states, "paid", and "not paid".  If you click paid, the record will update the field to paid. If not paid is clicked it will update it to not paid.

How would i do this?

In particular i am trying to make changes to my expense tracker program, the
"Income vs Expense Report by Date All" view.



In addition how would one execute a bulk edit to records forman html view. Bulk edit the records showing in the html view that it.












I have beens earching but can not figure it out.
