 In the page we have a html table to display customer data.Each table row represents a customer, displaying their CustomerId, CustomerName, CustomerEmail, and Address.Edit and delete buttons are provided for each customer row.

JavaScript Functions:

showEditRow(): This function is triggered when the edit button for a specific customer row is clicked. It dynamically replaces the row's data with input fields pre-filled with the existing customer information, allowing the user to edit.

cancelUpdate(): This function cancels the edit operation for a specific customer row and restores the original data.

deleteRow(): This function removes a customer row from the table when the delete button is clicked.

updateData(): This function updates the customer's information in the table based on the edited values.

Event listeners are attached to the edit and delete buttons within each row, invoking the corresponding JavaScript functions (showEditRow() and deleteRow()).When editing a row, input fields replace the existing data in the table cells, allowing users to modify the customer information.Upon cancellation or updating, the input fields are replaced with the original data.

The edit button enables users to modify the customer information.The delete button allows users to remove a customer row from the table.

In this page used for managing customer data, enabling users to edit and delete specific rows directly within the HTML table using JavaScript functions.
