We tackled in-place edit in the latest screencast in our free Learning  
Rails course:

[www.BuildingWebApps.com/learningrails/14](http://www.BuildingWebApps.com/learningrails/14)

We were surprised to find that the in-place edit plugin in the  
official Rails repository still hasn’t been updated to be functional  
with Rails 2, and that it doesn’t support several of the options in  
the Scriptaculous code that it wraps.

We worked around these issues in the screencast, but it was messier  
than we expected.

If you’ve been struggling with in-place edit, you might find the  
screencast helpful.

if you know of a simpler way to handle this, or of any news about the  
updating of the plugin, we’d really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
