ajax.php is not being called by 'action' in index.php

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. how is action activated in a table?
2. I am using version 1.8
3. I am not calling the database. I can go directly to ajax.php can call the 
database, so i know i am connecting to it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I do not receive any rows?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OpenJSGrid_v1_8-7, I am using a I-mac, OSX lion, MAMP apache, php, phpMyAdmin

Please provide any additional information below.
I have never heard of an action in an html table and I know only of an action 
in a form.
Please I need help..

so you are saying that when you call ajax.php direct you can echo rows?
is so - are your <th> attribute col="" - contains exact names of database 
fields?
i.e: <th col="active" editable="checkbox" width="30">Live</th>
where active is the actual column in the called table?
