this is my scenario…
In a form, i am using some jquery edit in place to allow users to edit some content. What i need, is for this edited content to be submitted in the form. I thought maybe i can use the jQuery clone function to ‘pick up’ the div and copy it into a hidden form field, but now i am faced with the problem that although the displayed text is changed, the source code actually stays the same… so im not sure this will work.
Can anyone advice me what i could do? Is there any way i can do this? Any other ideas someone can suggest?

UPDATE———————-
Have since managed to get it to update the source code… So now i am left with the second part of the problem…
Is there a way to use the jQuery clone function to pick up a specific div, and copy its entire content into a hidden text field?

Have you ever tried to use Ajax for those kind of actions?
please have a look: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
When the user stop editing something (e.g. focus changed from the field or enter hit) – send $.ajax to you web service and method update data or something like that.
