xtopolis Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 onblur="updateStatus('statusinput')" They have a function that sets the text from a <p> or something to an input, then back as well. Basically, you call a function that sends the Ajax request in the background while making the changes available immediately to you using javascript. Javascript, Ajax, php, mysql.

Wolphie Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I don't use facebook, but I assume you're referring to inline editing. For example, you click on an element i.e. a paragraph, and then a text area appears with the contents of the element inside allowing you to edit it and then update it. For this I would recommend using jQuery, there's a plug-in named jEditable which allows you to do this in conjunction with Ajax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
