jquery editInPlace anchor text editing

Question

I have a link and a button placed side by side. When the user clicks on the button the text of the link should become editable.

I m using jquery editInPlace for making the text of the link editable. The text of the link becomes editable but I m not able to restore the link property after the text edit. Here are my html and javasrcript files

demo.js

1 $(document).ready(function(){                                                                                                                                                                       
 2     $("img.modifyButton").click(function(){                                                                                                                                                         
 3         $(this).prev().editInPlace({                                                                                                                                                                
 4             success: function(){

Answer 1

Not really sure what your problem is. Your php file is empty, but when using callback versus your PHP file, everything seems to work right -- the link target is intact.

What is going wrong in your version? Are you returning the value back from your php file? If not this will fail I believe

This seems to work just fine, unless I am missing what you are trying to do:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("img.modifyButton").click(function(){
        $(this).prev().editInPlace({
            success: function(){
                $(this).unbind('.editInPlace');
                $(this).unbind('click');
            //  alert('success');
            },
            error: function(){
                $(this).unbind('.editInPlace');
                $(this).unbind('click');
                //alert('error');
            },

            callback: function(b,abc){
                return abc;
            },
            text_size:55,
            show_buttons: false
            ,params:"field=Title"
        });

        $(this).prev().on('click', function(event)
                {
                    event.preventDefault();
                });
        $(this).prev().click();
    });

});

I think the problem lies in your php script -- the above works as your example, with the php not included -- as it was not included in your git repo.
