I'm successfully using jeditable to submit via a function using jQuery.ajax and the async : false option , but am having an issue aborting if an error is returned.

How can I get the edit box to stay activated and / or revert back to the original value if there are errors? I'm returning http status codes.

so something like

async : false .ajax submit here...
if (xhr.status == 200) {
  return value;
else {
  alert ('returned error');
  // keep edit box activated but available for another try, or revert back to original value
}

I tried not returning a value from the function, which keeps the edit box activated and ready for another submit, but then the ESC key doesn't work anymore and if I click outside the edit area, the edit box stays.

Thanks in advance!
