Inline Editing with Ajax (Flickr Like)

Recently I have come across an ultra-neat way of edit-in-place system which is a lot like what Flickr does. There are off course some advantages and disadvantages to this, but the biggest advantage is that the user does not have to leave the page to edit anything and save changes, which is both efficient and a time-saver.

The disadvantage though is that the editing will completely “not work” if javascript is disabled, so do not forget to cater for people who do have javascript disabled or non-javascript supported browsers.

Example and illustration of how this will look like can be found here.
