Hi,

I have a requirement to use an Ajax in place editor on a set of snippets to
allow user to modify existing content. Once edited, however, I want the ok
button to NOT modify the original snippet, but instead, send the content to
another action, which then updates a different object.

Currently, I have the following code:

_snippets.html.erb

<%for snippet in @snippets%>
<p id='snippet_<%=snippet.id%>'>...<%= snippet.paragraph %>...</p>
 <%= set_page_snippet_url = url_for(
:controller => 'books',
 :action => 'set_page_snippet',
:snippet_id => snippet.id,
 :relative_id => @relative.id
)%>
<script type="text/javascript">
 new Ajax.InPlaceEditor('snippet_<%=snippet.id%>', '#{set_page_snippet_url}'
, {rows:15,cols:50});
 </script>
<%end%>

books_controller.rb

def set_page_snippet
   ...
end

The problem I see is:
1. the set_page_snippet never fires (when I add a debugger line to
set_page_snippet)
2. On clicking ok after editing a snippet, the snippet that was edited
changes to show the home page

How can I get the original snippet to remain unchanged after edit and have
the set_page_snippet to fire (with params[:value] containing the edited
text)?

Thanks
Anand
