Right now, the server response I\'m working with sends back a JSON response like this:

So the solution I came up with is similar to what madcapnmckay answered here.

var editableTextArea = $('.editable-textarea');
        editableTextArea.editable(submitEditableTextArea, {
    type      : 'textarea',
    cancel    : 'Cancel',
    submit    : 'Save',
            name            : editableTextArea.attr('id'),
            method      : 'post',
            data            : function(value, settings) {
                                        return $.fn.stripHTMLforAJAX(value);
                                    },
            event     : "dblclick",

    onsubmit    : function(value, settings) {
                //jquery bug: on callback reset display from block to inline
                $('.btn-edit').show(0, function(){$(this).css('display','inline');});
              },
    onreset     : function(value, settings) {
                //jquery bug: on callback reset display from block to inline
                $('.btn-edit').show(0, function(){$(this).css('display','inline');});
              }
  });

Then the url function is

function submitEditableTextArea(value, settings) { 
                        var edits = new Object();
                        var result = $.fn.addHTMLfromAJAX(value);
                        edits[settings.name] = [value];
                        var returned = $.ajax({
                            type            : "POST",
                            data            : edits,
                            dataType    : "json",
                            success     : function(_data) {
                                var json = eval( _data );
                                if ( json.status == 1 ) {
                                    console.log('success');
                                }
                            }
                        });
                        return(result);
                    }
