Hi!
- does it mean that on a js-enabled browser, I would not be able to edit
in a traditional way?
If we are to use the same edit icon for inline editing, jQuery will prevent the traditional behaviour. If we want to preserve traditional behaviour, we could either add a separate icon for inline editing, or add a toggle checkbox/button on the page, which activates/deactivates inline editing.
Personally I would prefer the inline editing to simply trigger on an "onclick" event within any of the cells of a row. The edit icon should IMHO still point to the old behavior. I, for one, often use Ctrl-Click on multiple rows to spawn tabs in my browser to edit multiple records. This great behavior should still work, and with default jquery behavior it would prevent this.
I'm very excited about this upcoming feature. :-)
