The purpose of this tip is to implement InViewEdit on web. This code gives you flexibility to edit document contents without opening their underlying form on web. In this code I have used XMLHTTP to update backend document after editing so I can prevent page refreshing on web.

Here, though, I do not know how to attached sample database; otherwise I would attach them. For any details, please feel free to e-mail me.

Code
