Hi Stephen,
Awesome, I like the look of this a lot!
I can't wait to find some time to muck about with this in the very near
future.
Good Luck with your project.

Well I have been playing with jQuery for a few months, and wanted to
test a few basic concepts. Mostly to do with injecting content into
the DOM on the fly in a usable way, to give some older client sites of
mine, CMS capabilities without having to do a full conversion of the
site to a database driven CMS.
In other words I was looking for the quickest short cut, and install
script, possible so that I didn't need to spend hours converting sites
to suit a full CMS.
What came out of this idea is a little plugin I have called "editEase"
for want of a better name (and naming things is not my forte) that
allows for edit in place of content by writing to the include file
instead of using a database. Knowing one of my clients (and their
lack of technical skills), a WYSIWYG editor had to be an option, along
side a plain text area, and TinyMCE seemed a good choice given it
works in nearly all browsers (including Opera).
Anyways, I have created a little project file here:
http://code.google.com/p/editease/
which has links to a short video http://screencast.com/t/Ayk7at3C
(only a 1 minute investment of your time, instead of having to read
through a lot of stuff to work out what I am on about), a live demo,
and the download files.
There are 2 dependencies on other jQuery plugins, being Thickbox and
Dimensions, although figured most would use them a lot already.
Would appreciate any feedback on this idea.
Cheers
Stephen
