Hi There,
I’m seriously considering using modX for a site for a client, and just wanted to clarify the reliability of the quickedit function. The comments for the current release (0.9.2.1) say ’there may be minor issues with QuickEdit on some sites’. I was planning on encouraging the client on using the quickedit function for most of their editing, but I don’t want to get to the stage where I have the design done and some freaky error locks up development for days.
Can anyone shed more light on the current problems with quickedit? I did a quick search in the forums but I’m not sure if I have the full picture.
Thanks.
Mostly it’s minor issues with CSS not being specific enough which can cause rendering glitches, depending on what CSS is used in a site.

I think the issue is that QuickEdit *may* look funny on your site. As far as I’m aware, it’s entirely about the display of the bar and nothing to do with functionality/
So if it looks OK and works OK, you’re fine. If not, you may just have to edit the QuickEdit css.
More specifically:
The CSS has a number of !important style declarations that should mean it displays OK, but it doesn’t account for every possible change you may have made to the elements it uses.
Example: QuickEdit uses a subclass of H1 for its own title. My H1 style has a margin and padding. Although the word QuickEdit was correctly sized, it still inherited this padding and so it looks funny and the first line of each menu gets pushed along.
I can fix this by resetting things in h1 #QE_Title to 0. I just haven’t gotten around to it because only I see it anyway.
