[want] hover only inline editor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For our current application I changed the behaviour of the inline editor quite 
substantially by 
showing the inline editing ui only while the mouse hovers on the text. (To give 
the users 
additional hints that they can change this value).

I was able to implement this by submitting to a function (I needed that 
anyway), discarding the 
edit if it didn't change anything and adding this jquery code beforehand:

    showAndHideInlineEditorsOnHover: function() {
        this.dom('span').hover(
            function(){ $(this).click(); }, 
            function(){ $(this).find(':input').submit(); });
    },

All editables are in span.

However this is so useful that I gather this should be inside the plugin proper.

Regards,
Martin

Well, I discovered that it's quite easy to crash IE when doing this, so I have 
deferred further work on this for a 
bit. You can see my experiments here though:

If somebody can tell me how to work around this - please speek up.
