=) figured it out… having trouble using it though.

```
Test2<div class="editable-content" 

```

id=“post\_edit\_364”\>Test2

That’s the html that gets generated… I’m trying to follow  
[http://blog.codahale.com/2006/01/14/a-rails-howto-simplify-in-place-editing-with-scriptaculous/](http://blog.codahale.com/2006/01/14/a-rails-howto-simplify-in-place-editing-with-scriptaculous/).

It shows the text, but if I click on it, nothing happens =(

Any suggestions?

Thanks
