Hello Alan

I'm using Editor, and i want to add a button that makes duplicate a database entry and insert it after te original entry.

Is this possible ?

Absolutely! The way to do this is to create a new record, based on the information of the selected record and using the Editor API. So you might do something like:

[code]
var data = this.fnGetSelectedData();
if ( data !== 1 ) {
return;
}

editor.create( null, null, false );
editor.set( 'name', data[0].name );
editor.set( 'access', data[0].access );
// ...
editor.submit();
[/code]

I've only got it working on a single row there, but I'm sure you can see how you could actually extend it to work on multiple rows if needed as well.
