I'm using Mika Tuupola' great jEditable plugin to replace my homegrown edit-in-place implementation. I've run into a snag when editing blank fields. When I have a field (a div, not a form field) that's blank, I stick a in it so the div will still show up. In my implementation, I made the input box empty if the field only had " " in it. jEditable doesn't seem to do this, so the field starts out with " " in it, which isn't ideal. With no onEditStart type event, I can't even fix it dynamically. My work around has been to use the loadurl feature, but it seems silly to hit the server for such a small thing.
Obviously it would be trivial for me to just edit the plugin, but I try to avoid that as much as possible (makes upgrading a nightmare), and this seems like a legitimate issue. If you try one of the jEditable demos and remove all of the text and save it, you won't be able to select it again since the field div has no size when it's empty. Thoughts? --Erik
