Rails - Sep 2006 - how does backpack add an image inplace ?

Im redoing the layout for my cms and would love to add the feature to 
add images in-place.

If you havent come across this before, here is a video that demonstrates 
backpack adding images. It looks really sweet !

I''ve got a recipe for inplace editing but would love to add inplace 
image creation and save my users leaving the page just to enter a name 
and image location.

I''m not totally sure what you''re asking for...

It seems like they used AJAX for the adding image section ( where you
choose the file and enter a descriotion ) by putting it in a partial,
and then a DIV that appears when "Upload an Image" is clicked.

The size of the pictures is pre-defined, and thus so is the layout...
they probabl run through @images.each and after three images add in a
<tr></tr> and keep displaying.

If you don''t want your users to have to leave the page, do the same
thing... put the "creation" page in it''s own Partial, and use
AJAX/RJS
files to show/hide the partial''s div...

Hope that makes sense...
