   Hello! Please PLEASE help me solve this issue. I am using JEditable in some divs everything works fine EXCEPT, when using the callback functionality the “Saving….” part does NOT show up AND when i move my mouse and click on another window and the hover back with the mouse over my application that was just edited with jeditable the OLD value that was edited REAPPEARS. But the value edited was saved because its in the DB and if I refresh the page the correct value shows up. HELP! (I’m using PHP)

   var \$j = jQuery.noConflict(); \$j(document).ready(function() \{ \$j(’#$element_id’).editable(function(value, settings) \{

   var \$value = eval('(' + value + ')');
   });

   msg = \$j.ajax(\{ 
               type: \"POST\", 
               url: \"$url\" + \"/update\", 
               data: \"id=$element_id&value=\" + \$value[0] + \"&ajax\",
               async: false
           }).responseText;
   );

   //roi271192950000

   var responses = eval('(' + msg + ')');

   var resSize = responses.length;
   for (var i = 0; i < resSize; i++) {
      Element.update(responsesi, responsesi);
   }

   }, \{
   type   : '$type',
   indicator : 'Saving...'}

   RR_QQ : I have bit difficulties understanding nature of your problem. Maybe you can provide me with example page where the problems occurs?

   Hell there Mika, unfortunately I cannot provide you with a link since outside users cannot access it.

   Im trying to use the submitting to function instead of URL feature.

   Well the problem is this in detail:

   1. I have a div with a value (lets say the value is 82) that when clicked the jEditable functionality is executed and the value now appears in a text input box.

   2. I edit the value (I change it to say 777) and press enter to save.

   3. Problem One: The “indicator” label does not appear.

   4. The value is saved in the DB and appears in the page in place of the old value as it should.

   5. Now imagine you have a totally differnt browswer window (or any other program, say Notepad) open right next to the browser window that contains the jEditable functionality.

   6. You click on that other window.

   7. Then you decide to go back to the jEditable page so you hover your mouse over it.

   8. Problem Two: At this point the new value that you just edited and saved changes back to the old value that was displayed before you made any changes to it. In other words the “777” now turns back to “82”. If I refresh the page the appropriate saved value appears (“777”) and not hte “82” which is now saved in the DB as “777”.

   For some reason the code I pasted didn’t show up in its entirety so let me try displaying it one more time. Here it is:

   var \$j = jQuery.noConflict(); \$j(document).ready(function() \{ \$j(’#$element_id’).editable(function(value, settings) \{ });

   var \$value = eval('(' + value + ')');
   );

   msg = \$j.ajax(\{ 
           type: \"POST\", 
           url: \"$url\" + \"/updateAdRevenue\", 
           data: \"id=$element_id&value=\" + \$value[0] + \"&ajax\",
           async: false
       }).responseText;

   var responses = eval('(' + msg + ')');

   var resSize = responses.length;
   for (var i = 0; i < resSize; i++) {
      Element.update(responsesi, responsesi);
   }

   }, \{
   type   : '$type',
   indicator : 'Saving...'}

   I’m sorry. By just reading this description I cannot help. Would really need to see example page which reproduces the behaviour.

   Great script, thank you for providing it.

   I just thought I’d suggest some consistency in your naming convention. You refer to the plugin as Editable (this entry’s title), Jeditable (on the project page… “Jedi table” is how that looks to me), and jEditable every once in a while as well (“Projects using jEditable” on project page and a few other times there as well).

   My vote would be for jEditable… but tis your plugin. The Jedi Table version is kinda bad IMHO though.

   I have used Jeditable in several projects and love it. I have a question. Can you tell me how I can have a multiple select box? And have multiple options already selected?

   Hi, I’m having problems when posting data to php. Special characters (&éèàâô…) are screwed up when putting them into my MySQL database. Is there a way to replace special characters with ASCII name entities before posting the data? Any help is welcome. Tnx!

    Aaron: I recently changed naming from jEditable to Jeditable. It seems I have forgot to update some pages. Just a matter of personal preference.

    found a solution maybe not the most elegant, but it works… var submitdata = {}; var text = input.val(); text = text.replace(/[\340]/g, ”à”); text = text.replace(/[\341]/g, ”á”); text = text.replace(/[\342]/g, ”â”); ...

    Joeri: It is an utf-8 problem. Form is submitting utf-8 and your script is expecting something else (or vice versa).

    You should convert everything to use utf-8. If this is not possible convert all text to ISO8859 / Latin-1 in save script before you save to database.

    Adam: You can use custom input for that. Unfortunately I have not needed such thing myself yet so you have to write it yourself :) Some info on how to write custom inputs: Three Button Editable, Example Source and Custom Input Types for Edit in Place.

    This plugin, in all it’s magnificent awesomeness, is so fantastic I find myself thinking of it as JediTable, rather than jEditable or Jeditable.

    Thought you should know. Thank you!

    phenominal plugin.

    couple of issues …unfortunately cannot post example as of yet; but maybe you’ll have an idea how to solve.

    1.) when i add buttons to my textarea – they appear to the right instead of below. 2.) the cursor in the textarea is in super-rapid blinking mode (like something is being called repeatedly), instead of normal blinking. it’s not a real big issue, but i wonder why it would be doing that, and not seeming to in your examples.

    stuff here
