I did a little writeup with a simple example here.

$.valHooks['myedit'] = {
    get : function(el) {
        return $(el).html();
    },
    set : function(el, val)
    {
        $(el).html(val);
    }
};

$.fn.myedit = function()
{
    this.each(function() {
        this.type = 'myedit';
    });
    return this;
}

$('#edit').myedit().val(' Hi there!');
$('#value').html('The value is : ' + $('#edit').val());
