Rails spinoffs - Nov 2005 - InPlaceEditor form value

As I understand it the name of the <input> element created when
using the InPlaceEditor is "value". 

When creating an instance of Ajax.InPlaceEditor I have a
callback function that looks like this (to send the value using
a different parameter name):

function(value) { return ''name='' + value;}

Using etheral to see what''s getting sent back to the server I
see that the value is: 

[object]

If I update my callback function to:

function(value) { return ''name='' + value.value;}

the value sent to the server is:

undefined

This is behaviour I''ve noticed using IE6 and 1.5rc5. I notice
similar behaviour in Firefox *however* if my callback function
looks like this:

function(value) { return ''name='' + value.value.value;}

The correct value is sent to the server.

Anyone have any suggestions or working examples? This has been
stumping me for too long.

Cheers,

Brandon

Sorry, the function takes two arguments, first the form and then the
actual value of the field so it needs to look like this:
function(form, value) { return ''name='' + value;}

Is there any documentation out there with the incorrect form of the
function that I need to update?

Thanks for pointing that out -- I imagine this was my oversight
and not something missing from the docs. The strange behaviour
exhibited by the different browsers (ie. it actually working in
Firefox) was throwing me for a loop.
