Rey - I've looked at these 'click to edit' functions as well but always run into accessibility issues - by the time I add enough flashing arrows and descriptive text that describes how to click, etc - I may as well just use a form. I think users just relate form = editable area and anything that deviates from that confuses people. I use a desktop wiki that has this feature - TiddlyWiki - you can either click the area or they provide an 'edit' button. I ALWAYS click the edit button? I also find myself accidently clicking on those areas which can screw up the content... Maybe I'm old fasioned but I'll stick with vanilla forms :) Jim _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
