$$Javascript coder wanted$$ Updating tablerows, calling php files, updating id fields

Before I go on.. Yes, compensation will be rewarded for your time.

I'm looking for two javascripts to run in php

The first, I need to delete a tablerow in a table with a javascript link, here is an example:

<table width='100%' id='table1'>
<tr id='name1'>
<td>
<a href='javascript:deleteRow(this);'>Delete</a>
<td>
</tr>
<tr id='name2'>
<td>
<a href='javascript:deleteRow(this);'>Delete</a>
<td>
</tr>
</table>

To clarify, I need not only the <td> gone, but I need the <tr> gone as well.


The second, I need to call a php file with a timed event.

For example:
Every 60 seconds the page is inactive:
The javascript runs and calls the php file.
The php file then returns how many new rows have been added
The javascript then updates a link with the amount of new rows.

example of link: <a id='chat' href='chat.php'>Messages (0)</a>


If anyone can help please post in this thread or PM me with a price.

Thanks!
