Allen,

I am trying to provide a table which behaves somewhat like excel, in that if you edit a cell, other cells will update based on a formula. I implemented a php function which recalculates and updates all table elements which were impacted by the POST data

I then need to have this RUN as a post edit event. This failed, so I thought I could do an ajax.reload using a drawCallback, but I cannot get that to function either

I seem to be wrestling with 2 issues:

1

        var affordTable;
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var affordTable = $("#affordTable").DataTable( {
                        dom: "Bt",
            "drawCallback": function( settings ) {
                affordTable.ajax.reload();
            },
                       ......

results in: TypeError affordTable is undefined
What am i doing wrong?

In the server side
```
->on( 'postEdit', function ( $editor, $id, $values )
{
updateSubtotals();
})

Which calls php function to calculate and update subtotal columns in a mysql table, causes a
Lock wait timeout exceeded error in mysql (the query executes just fine from phpMyAdmin)

Any idea why this occurs?
