Normal textarea

Example of the 'textarea' type.

If you click anywhere on this text, it will become a textarea that you can edit. And then you can click OK to save it.

Show source code

$(".editable_textarea").editable("save.php", {
    type   : 'textarea',
    submit : 'OK',
    cancel : 'Nope'
});

Select

Example of the 'select' type.

THIS IS A SELECT, click it to get a select menu. Options are from the "data" setting.

THIS IS A SELECT WITH JSON FEED, click it to get a select menu. Options are loaded from an ajax request getting JSON.

THIS IS A MULTIPLE SELECT.You can select several values (try holding Shift or Ctrl).

Show source code

// inline select
$(".editable-select").editable("save.php", {
    type   : "select",
    // this data will be sorted by value
    data   : '{"Wiki":"Wiki","Banana":"Banana","Apple":"Apple", "Pear":"Pear"}',
    submitdata : function() { return {id : 42, something: 'else'};},
    style  : "inherit",
});
// with JSON feed
$(".editable-select-json").editable("save.php", {
    type   : "select",
    loadurl : "json.php",
    submit : "OK",
    style  : "inherit"
});
// MULTIPLE SELECT
$(".multiple-select").editable("save.php", {
    type : "select",
    data   : '{"Wiki":"Wiki","Banana":"Banana","Apple":"Apple", "Pear":"Pear"}',
    submit: 'OK',
    multiple : true,
    onblur: function() { return true; },
    // use intercept to display the results as we want it
    intercept: function(result, status) {
        return "You selected: " + result + ". ";
    },
    onerror: function(settings, self, xhr) {
        console.log("Error with status code: " + xhr.status);
    },
    submitdata : function(revert, settings, result) {
        console.log("User selected values: " + result.value);
    },
});

Different events

By default a click will trigger an edit. But you can bind other events as shown below.

Click me if you dare! or maybe you should doubleclick instead? Really lazy people can just mouseover me...

Show source code

// click
$(".click").editable("save.php", {
    tooltip   : "Click to edit...",
    style  : "inherit"
});

// double click
$(".dblclick").editable("save.php", {
    tooltip   : "Doubleclick to edit...",
    event     : "dblclick",
    style  : "inherit"
});

// mouseover
$(".mouseover").editable("save.php", {
    tooltip   : "Move mouseover to edit...",
    event     : "mouseover",
    style  : "inherit"
});

Intercepting the data sent back

Useful if you want to process the returned data before it hits the page.

Show source code

$(".intercept").editable("json2.php", {
    submit : 'OK',
    intercept : function(jsondata) {
        json = JSON.parse(jsondata);
        console.log(json.status);
        console.log(json.other);
        return json.result;
    },
});
