I found Christian Hellsten's jquery-in-place-edit library and I meant to write an integration demo with Django many, many moons ago. After randomly stumbling on it again today, I still needed to scratch this itch. Here are the results of a few hours of playing around.
The templates included are a slightly modified version of Christian's examples. The app project is just a starter project to test the demo. This is a demo and not production worthy... Nothing more, nothing less.
- consider making a reusable app
- check that user submitting content owns the item
- create an app/model access list to keep people from guessing apps/models/fields to post random data to
- better error checking
- detect success or fail in the json post and handle that
- better working examples
- tests
