Looks good Eli!  Nice work!

A couple of things:

- Until we come up with a meaningful icon I vote for using text to make it clear what the user can do. The addition of undo adds some challenge for the user to not only figure out what one icon does but what 2 siimilar only mirrored icons do. Because of their similarity its also more difficult to distinguish between them and when they change.

- Just an FYI for everyone -- there is still a debate about the usefulness and need for redo in the simple text field edit context here. We are hoping user testing will help us better understand the tradeoffs of adding the complexity versus how often redo is actually needed.

Hi Eli,

I've been checking it out today. It looks good.

I've added it to the Inline Edit QA test plan. Now we will be able to do QA testing on the undo/redo functionality.

Thanks
Justin

Hi folks,
The Section Info based inline edit sample is pretty much done.

There is a little bit of accessibility work to be done with the Undo/Redo, Undo/Redo is in the wrong tab order because I'm floating it right. I'm doing this for formatting reasons and I can fix it with a little more sophisticated markup when I get a chance. Also when you activate Undo or Redo, the focus should stay on the Undo/ Redo link.

But other than that, I think that it's in good shape. Certainly good enough for testing and for beta.

Inline Edit and the Undo code are very fun to work with. Kudos to those who developed on the code. Very easy to implement. Well, I had a little trouble with Undo, but once Colin helped me with an undocumented and slightly confusing API change, it worked like a charm.
