how do you cancel?
One bug I've found: selecting more than a line and applying bold or italics is not reversible. (Win7 x32, Chrome 15.0.874.121)
There's another bug where if you click edit repeatedly in rapid succession, the green flash animation is queued and plays repeatedly. I think this can be altered by calling stop() before animate()? But it's been a bit since I worked with jQuery.

Does it need structural options? At work, I'm supposed to change a lot of our existing websites over to "Wordpress CMS" because it'll make it easier for the admin staff to modify the website, for updates and such. The problem is, they need to locate the login then they need to remember their account info, then they need to find the right page they want to modify, then they have to do a bunch of other clicks to get wh…
I have similar issues - our website is in WordPress and despite the ease-of-use of this particular package, a lot of people just don't seem to get it. Some staff and volunteers pick it up quite easily, if they haven't already seen or used it before, but several people just don't do it, and instead I get a phone call or email saying "can you put this on the website?". Incidentally, do you find a lot of people simply c…
we dont do inline editing, but on-site editing where you navigate to the page you want to update and click edit, we then highlight all dynamic content on the page and bring up the relevant form when clicked.
In our first prototypes we were playing around with inline editing, but ended up concluding that it causes more problems than it solves when you're dealing with a real website with dynamic content.
One example: you have a news section, and on the homepage the last 3 stories are pulled in, but with the body text truncated to 100 characters since more would break the design. Inline editing here will be problematic. There are plenty of other cases (just think text-overflow: ellipsis;) and there's also the contextual problem of how to communicate to the end user that he is editing structured content that might be reused in different places on the site, with an interface that pretends to be completely WYSIWYG.
We think our way of on-site editing is the best compromise between making updates easy and making the conceptual model clear.

Email is actually a perfectly valid web publishing protocol. We've done quite a lot of systems where clients can publish news items by just mailing them to a certain mailbox. And http://www.deathmonkey.org/ was completely produced by sending emails from (old, pre-iPhone) smartphones on the road.
Inline editing is quite nice. I wonder if I am missing something about this: it seems to only offer italic/bold/underline/strike-through and no structural options? Plug-and-play inline editing for various CMSs would be nice. If this had more features, I could see using it with a structured, lightweight CMS like Perch [1] to edit structured content inline with the published pages. [1] http://grabaperch.com/

We're also aiming to solve this with Webpop ( http://www.webpop.com ). we dont do inline editing, but on-site editing where you navigate to the page you want to update and click edit, we then highlight all dynamic content on the page and bring up the relevant form when clicked.
