Hi,

I am playing with Ajax.InPlaceEditor  
I hide some elements in editMode:function(id){  
$(‘some-element’).hide()  
}  
So when I click on edit, ‘some-element’ is hidden.  
But when I click on ‘cancel’, I want to show the ‘some-element’.

How can I do this?  
Thanks in advance!

Hi, you might want to look at the invoking the show() method when  
you click cancel. I would recommend consulting your Prototype  
or JQuery for further details.

Good luck,

I figured it out by adding a onLeaveEditMode: showSomeElement() in  
options.

It looks to me that onLeaveEditMode will be called in destroy and wrapUp  
and thus will be called after save or cancel.

Can someone help me to confirm this?

Thanks!
