While browsing the API, I noticed that in place editing is going away  
in Rails 2.0

[http://api.rubyonrails.org/files/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/macros/in\_place\_editing\_rb.html](http://api.rubyonrails.org/files/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/macros/in_place_editing_rb.html)

1. Is the replacement plugin here? Is so, where can I find it and its  
documentation
2. Does anybody have a solution for doing in\_place\_edit of dates, or  
other valid column types? (integer, float, datetime, date, timestamp,  
time, text, string, binary, and boolean
