1 - Description:

 

This plugin allows for a common web 2.0 interaction pattern where a user clicks (multiple other variations exist; double click, presses buttonor double clicks or pressed a link/button) on a title or block of text and the content is transformed into an editable form element. The changes can be saved via AJAX on a range of events: keyUp, change, Blur, or when a save button is pressed. A cancel button or link is also an optional element to undo the changes.

 

Stuart Loxton created a simple edit in place demo with a few typical options:
