Hi all,

I’m looking for a sensible/streamlined manner in which to implement an  
“in-place editable” html table with cells that, upon click, will  
present the proper edit option (e.g. textbox, drop-down, etc). Are  
there any plugins that already implement this type of item, or is it  
something I’ll need to do from scratch? Any tips, tricks, or insights  
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,  
Michael
