Cool plugin but i got stuck.

[http://os.flvorful.com/super\_in\_place\_controls/demo](http://os.flvorful.com/super_in_place_controls/demo)

Everything is fine until I click OK button after I edit a column. It  
comes up:

RJS error: TypeError: $(element) has no properties

and

Element.update(“sku\_description\_4”, “ff”);  
$(‘sku\_description\_4\_form’).hide();  
Element.hide(“error\_messages”);  
$$(“#sku\_description\_4\_form #sku\_description”).map(function(value,  
index)  
return value.removeClassName(“fieldWithError”); })

Any ideas to fix it? I don’t even know where to start.

Thanks.

hi matt,

sorry about that, i really need to make some better docs 🙂

The plugin uses a div to display error messages. Chances are, this is  
the element the JS error is talking about.

There is a helper method called: inplace\_error\_div  
This method will drop a div container in your view for the plugin to  
target.

Hope that helps
