You could absolutely pull in the jqueryUI stuff from a local copy in your static folder. Then in your controller use something like:
response.files.append(r=request, c="static", f="jqueryui/1.8.9/jquery-ui.js")response.files.append(r=request, c="static", f="jqueryui/1.8.9/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css") As far as using something like this to allow inline editing of existing records, sure it could be done. Instead of pre-fetching a blank entry form via LOAD as this does, you could build a widget that dynamically loaded a SQLFORM of the specified record into the dialog box's div & then opened the dialog. That'd be pretty handy; maybe the next time we're supposed to get 8+ inches of snow here I'll try it. :D
