I began working last night with the jEditable plugin for jQuery.  The point is that html output is converted to a form field for editing, and after editing a confirmation button or just Enter can be pressed to return the new value to the html output.  Quick simple updates is the real point.  Although I don’t think I would use this within a website, I do find it very practical for website administration.  The javascript library can be found at the jEditable website.  (One note though, is that the plugin is not downloaded as a js file like many other plugin libraries.  Instead (at least for me), the code just opened in a new window.  Really not a big deal however.  Just copy and past the code into a .js file in your editor, and then include that file just below your jQuery.js file in your main file.)
