2007-02-26 - written extended_in_place_edit_for

-> lib/helpers/various.rb

This function checks for http_method, does proper validation and drops empty values.

Unfortunately, there is no feedback to the user regarding the error. It's just dropped. This is because it is an ajax request and the client expects nothing but the new value.
