jQuery jeditable trigger on click

Solution

There are many ways to do it and it all depends on your HTML, but for example if you have following HTML:

<div class="edit" id="unique_id">Editable text</div> 
<a href="#" class="edit_trigger">Edit me!!</a>

Then you can use following JavaScript:

/* Bind Jeditable instances to "edit" event. */
$(".edit").editable("http://www.example.com/save.php", {
    event     : "edit"
});
/* Find and trigger "edit" event on correct Jeditable instance. */
$(".edit_trigger").bind("click", function() {
    $(this).prev().trigger("edit");
});

Problem

I need to use inline edit in my application. For this purpose I am using the Jeditable plugin for jQuery. I want to trigger editable mode for an element only when I click on it. This is my code which doesn't work: ``` var tet = ""; $(".edit-client").click(function(event) { tet = "#"+event.target.id; //alert(tet); }); $(tet).editable("/bestcredit/admin.php/request/editClient", { submitdata : function (value,settings){ return {"Client[id]":'.$model->client->id.' }; }, //indicator : "Saving...", //tooltip : "Click to edit...", submit : "OK", name : "Client["+tet.substr("1")+"]" //alert(1); }); ``` How can I add this functionality?
