LiveEditor is a jQuery plugin that allows users to edit information in detail views or tables.

Only when the user hovers over an editable area is the editor displayed (which can be a checkbox, a dropdown or a simple textbox for instance). This makes for a great reading experience while allowing easy editing of mulitiple rows of information.

The plugin facilitates an API for advanced integration with the website it enhances.

LiveEditor is build using the jQuery library and is distributed under the MIT-license.
