Late last year Drew McLellan posted a great article on 24ways.org called Edit-in-Place with Ajax. Using Flick as an example and Prototype to do the heavy lifting he showed how to edit text inline. Like many other people I’ve been fascinated by this approach to altering text. After playing with Drew’s example off and on I finally sat down and decided to generalize it a bit more to make it easier to use.
