I'm voting for a text link rather than icons.

Daphne,
I agree with you that there will probably be some confusion around
Undo and Redo. I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting.
There is already a tooltip for Undo/Redo (at least there is in FF, I
just used the title tag). Are you saying that you would also like a
label next to or under the icon?
Let me know. I'll revisit this tomorrow.

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

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.
