I’ve just came across the in\_place\_editor function (before I was using  
rjs templatesfor showing / closing edit-in-place type AJAX forms).

I’d like to make some changes to the html the in\_place\_editor function  
outputs automatically and was wondering where can I edit that html.

Thanks,

Gabor

you can most likly find it in prototype helper. if not it will be in one  
of the action view helper moduals in rails. Since changing rails is bad  
copy the code to your application helper and make the modifications  
there.
