I noticed a nice little twist on the in-place-editor in the new Google Calendar, namely that it adds a small 3D-style border to the hover effect, which makes it look more like an input field. See the image on the right: The first is how the data looks, the second is on mouse-over, and the third is after the field is clicked. Very nice touch.
Then, after you’ve made changes, if you hit Esc, it’ll take you back to the calendar view, but only after having given you the lightbox-style warning popup shown on the right, while dimming the page in the background. I’m not convinced it adds enough value to justify the additional weight over the normal Javascript confirm(), but it does look nicer.
