Solution 3

If you don't need a complete postback/full page re-rendering (which is restoring the table to previous state), then you need to use some other technique to save data like XMLHttpRequest.

Keep the UI, intact, pass on the values to save via Javascript and save on server.

Good advice, a 5, and he could stuff the result of the initial query in a session variable to further improve server side performance :)

Solution 1

put the loading function of the table on page load.
I think this will solve the problem.

you should call the function in which the HTML table is dynamically created on page load event. at the moment you fill the table and press the button to save . but the button causes the post back. when the post backed page is loaded it is in the initial condition when it was loaded. so place the function in Page Load. i think it should do the trick.
