Prototype 似乎已经过气了，但用的人还是挺多，这段代码是用来实现即时文本编辑(Edit In Place)的功能。
// Requires prototype.js
function edit(action, obj) {
Element.hide(obj);
var textarea ='<div id="' + obj.id + '_editor"><input type="text" id="' + obj.id + '_edit" name="' + obj.id + '" value="' + obj.innerHTML + '" size="40">';
var button = '<input id="' + obj.id + '_save" type="button" value="SAVE" /> <input id="' + obj.id + '_cancel" type="button" value="CANCEL" /></div>';
new Insertion.After(obj, textarea+button);
Event.observe(obj.id+'_save', 'click', function(){saveChanges(action, obj)}, false);
Event.observe(obj.id+'_cancel', 'click', function(){cleanUp(obj)}, false);
$(obj.id+"_edit").focus();
$(obj.id+"_edit").select();
}
function cleanUp(obj, keepEditable) {
Element.remove(obj.id+'_editor');
Element.show(obj);
if(!keepEditable) showAsEditable(obj, true);
}
function saveChanges(action, obj) {
var new_content = escape($F(obj.id+'_edit'));
obj.innerHTML = "Saving...";
cleanUp(obj, true);
var success = function(t){editComplete(t, obj);}
var failure = function(t){editFailed(t, obj);}
var url = 'poll-ajax.php?a='+action;
var pars = 'id=' + obj.id + '&content=' + new_content;
var myAjax = new Ajax.Request(url, {method:'post', postBody:pars, onSuccess:success, onFailure:failure});
}
function editComplete(t, obj) {
obj.innerHTML = t.responseText;
showAsEditable(obj, true);
}
function editFailed(t, obj) {
obj.innerHTML = 'Sorry, the update failed.';
cleanUp(obj);
}
