I have a field that I want to use In Place Editing. I have it hooked up mostly. But if the field is empty, there is nothing to click to flip into edit mode. I''ve tried putting in there but no luck. Right now I put an ugly "blank" message. Any one have a clever way to work around this?

not sure if this would work, and I haven''t used the IPE too much but could you set a min-width to the element On Mon, Feb 11, 2008 at 2:55 PM, pedz <pedzsan-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I have a field that I want to use In Place Editing.

If there is nothing there but white space, how is anyone supposed to know that the intention is to click to edit the non-existent value?

I''m going to have a tough time educating my users already.> This was discussed recently, the comments in this thread may help:http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/browse_thread/thr...For me, utopia would be a small icon on the left side that says "edit". I need to dig out my photoshop and see if I can come up with it. The mouse over features are great but I think my users are not going to mouse over text areas that are editable. I need to mark them somehow. But, I''m using background colors as degrees of warnings or errors. So, that is already in use. The other idea I had (have barf bag close at hand) is to put some text in it but make it the same color as the background. I''d do this in the Javascript code. And set the color back to normal when it goes from blank to non-blank. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
