Inline-edit gives users the ability to make changes to text blocks and view those changes immedietly. The input from the users is passed to a server side script before returning the parsed data that is display back to the user.

While no parameters are required, it's recomended you ensure the path to your ajax script is correct, and that you add a hover class so users know to click on section.

$(function(){
	$('.inline-edit').inlineEdit({ajax: '/path/to/ajax-script', hover: 'inline-hover'});
});

which will give you the following affect:
