This plug-in makes any DOM content editable and displays a Save button underneath the content. A SaveHandler can be specified that is fired when the Save button is clicked. You can press ESC while in the editable area to abort editing without firing the SaveHandler.
jQuery.fn.contentEditable = function(options)
Options
The options parameter can be a map of any of these properties (default values are shown):
var def = { editClass: null,
saveText: "Save",
saveHandler: null
};
editClass
The CSS class for the edited element. Optional. If not specified an Azure background is used.
saveText
The text of the save button. "Save" by default. The Save button also assigns an implicit class="editableButton" to allow you to override styling of the button.
saveHandler
Event handler when the Save button is clicked.
Example
$("#divMessage").contentEditable(
saveText: "Update Comment",
editClass: "contenteditable", // css class for edited text
saveHandler: function(e) {
// this is content element edited
alert( $(this).html() ); // or use .text()
return true; // true to stop editing, false to keep editing
});
