do you want to delete the rows in the html-table or do you want to do a delete of the data in the background on the server

if you just want to delete the html-table-row put this td in your table
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
....
<td><a href="javascript:void null;" onclick="var e=this;while(e.tagName!='TR'){e=e.parentNode};if(e){e.parentNode.removeChild(e);}">[del]</a></td>
....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you can also make a function:

put this to your head
-------------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript">
function delRow(e){
//first find the tablerow
while(e && e.tagName!='TR')
e=e.parentNode;
//if found then remove it form the table (e.parentNode='TBODY')
if(e)
e.parentNode.removeChild(e);
}
</script>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then the tablecell can look like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
....
<td><img src="yourdelicon.gif" border=0 style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="delRow(this);"></td>
....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hope this helps and you give me the points :)
