jeditable submit on mouse out

having a bit of trouble with jeditable plugin for jquery and was hoping someone wiser than myself can help.

Essentially I am trying to trigger the editable function on mouseover and submit any changes on mouse leave... sounds simple but the mouse leave bit doesnt seem very well documented :( This is kinda wha开发者_StackOverflowt I have so far:

$('.content').live("mouseenter", function() {
    console.log("enter");

    $('.editable', $(this)).editable(function(value, settings) {
        //do stuff
    });

}).live("mouseleave", function() {
    console.log("leave");

    $('.editable', $(this)).editable(function(value, settings) {
        //stop doing stuff
    });
})

So anyone have any idea how I submit the editable content and reset the content when mousing out? It only seems to work with a click :(

There is an onblur option, which allows you to specify the behaviour when the element being edited is blurred. To achieve what you are after, you could specify onblur: 'submit', and on mouseleave, you can make the element blur, e.g. $('.editable', this).blur().

I would use mouseover and mouseout as suggested in the jQuery documentation like so:

$(".hoverme").live("mouseover mouseout", function(event) {
  if ( event.type == "mouseover" ) {
    // do something on mouseover
  } else {
    // do something on mouseout
  }
});
