In relation to the inline editor, I went back through the various
inline edit threads and sorted out the following behavior questions:
- What is the signal that something can be edited inline?
- Display hover text after x seconds?
- Enforce a character limit?
- Show the character limit/character total?
- Use default/prompt text when there is no user-entered text?
- What happens when multiple lines are pasted?
- Can html/code/scripts be submitted?
- Is there validation of the entry?
- Use explicit save/cancel?
- Does clicking outside the inline edit interface save or cancel?
- What are the right keyboard only/screen reader keys for inline edit?
Which are now posted at the bottom of this page:
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/x/1YU7
...where some of the questions have already been answered.
To help answer the remaining questions, I did a comparative analysis of
other popular sites using inline edit (Plaxo, Facebook, Flickr, Google
Calendar), and posted the results at the top of this page:
