Rails spinoffs - Aug 2005 - why is the result of expr. Ajax.InPlaceEditor not an object in Safari

hi guys.

i''m really thrilled about the in-place editor and rahul''s
additions/
examples at   http://www.instituteofthefuture.org/js/inplace.php

i know that this "mozilla only" script will eventually get fixed and  
be usable in safari as well, but i can''t wait, so i''ve tried
to poke
around a bit -- of course, without success.  i am much more of an  
"end user" than "developer"...

but maybe somebody on this list will know the answer to this  
question: why is the result of expression Ajax.InPlaceEditor not an  
object in Safari?  Namely, that is the error message when I try using  
in-place editor in Safari...

also, i get a parse error pointing to:

this.options = Object.extend ({ //etc.

any tips would be appreciated...

all best,
tench

The interesting thing is, that it is not an error in Mozilla.

    this.cache = Object.extend({
        response: null,
        backgroundColor: null,
    });

this call is missing the second object. It should be

    this.cache = Object.extend({
        response: null,
        backgroundColor: null,
    }, {});

Which is equivalent to 

    this.cache = {
        response: null,
        backgroundColor: null,
    };

Bye,
Martin
