Hi,

Does anyone have some sample code for implementing in-line editing  
support  
for a table of data? I’m after a user experience for the editing of the  
data in the table like google spreadsheets, where there is no additional  
dialog box, or OK/Cancel buttons, that pop up after you click on the  
cell  
(and the row/columns widths don’t then change and move around). Rather  
just  
want the cursor to appear with the text that can be then edited.

Thanks
