This answer really saved me after a whole day of frustration trying to find out the solution. Many thanks!!! :)

@MohammedShameem jeditable doesn't show up the prefixes and suffixes of the fields to be edited. Also, it doesn't show up the popup calendar if i try to edit the Date fields.

@MohammedShameem but then how do i add the functionality to add more meter readings in the same table. I mean how do i create a new row dynamically on click of add reading link.

@MohammedShameem Yes I did... but editablefields distorts the view badly because I am using date api and every field then comes with a textbox and save button, which totally distorts the table layout... I even tried it out with a grid but even that is not helping...

@MohammedShameem Tried this out... Not the solution for me... I need to do it inside the table and fields collection is not the way for me...
