Make span element “editable”

Question

I have a span element that I want to become editable upon double-click. (That is, the user can edit the text and it will save when s/he clicks outside.)

Answer 1

The above works: I've tested it in this jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/nXXkw/

Also, to remove the editability when user clicks off of the element, include:

$('span').bind('blur',function(){
    $(this).attr('contentEditable',false);
});
