yes, that's part of what i mean, but the more important part is that
i
want to _start with_ a textarea. that is, i want a TEXTAREA on my
screen
- not a one-line INPUT element. here is my code:

<textarea id="editme" rows="5" cols="50">This is what is in the box
already.</textarea>

<script type="text/javascript">
 new Ajax.InPlaceEditor('editme', '/ajaxWaitReturn.php',
{rows:5,cols:50});
</script>

The 'ajaxWaitReturn.php' script just sleeps 5 seconds, then ends. So,
taking easy things first, there never is a 'Saving...' message -
whether
I use a 'wait/spinning' icon or not. Is this normal? A bug?

(didn't realize this forum was the same as the google group sort of.)
