Ajax Live Edit

Looking for some good examples of live edit

[boxfan]

Does anyone have any good examples of live edit using Ajax. I'm particularly looking for editing datasheet type data.

What is live edit?

An Ajax application that allows you to edit text in-line without having to click submit. Saves the data without refreshing the page.

OK. Sorry, I don't have any examples. But it can't be that hard to build. Basically one needs a textarea and an AJAX script that handles every onkeyup event in the textarea. Rather basic as there is no need to handle any server response.

So ... it's not technically an AJAX solution then ;)

I probably wouldn't submit data on ever key-up. Instead, I would keep a timer. If there has been no key strokes for X seconds, save. Each time there is a key-up event, restart timer.

That's what Gmail does, autosave every n seconds.

Seems like these are two slightly different requirements actually--there are lots of demos out there where you do click a submit button when you're done, but where the page is not reloaded as such.

Try some of the examples in this search [google.com]. Seems like many of the demos use the Prototype library [prototype.conio.net].
