Gracefully degrading jQuery edit-in-place
I recently became curious about creating some edit-in-place controls: things that look like static text until you click them, and they magically become editable. It turns out that creating this sort of thing is almost trivial with jQuery, which is now my favourite JavaScript framework. I'm a big fan of functional-style programming, and jQuery plays right into that.
It was still surprising that the bulk of what I wanted to do can be done in about 16 lines of code. That's right: sixteen.
