After reading Avoiding Bloat in Widgets I’m pondering a re-write of Edit In Place in a similar style so that something like Script.aculo.us could be optionally used to supply transitional effects. So those that are looking for a smoother looking Edit In Place could have it, while not forcing the extra weight on those who don’t want it.
There are a number of other things that I’d like to get hammered out in the Edit In Place code as well. I’m hoping to resume work on it after the new year.
Javascript is starting to remind me of the Perl slogan, “There’s more than one way to do it”.
