Description

InlineEditBox doesn't really support a good way to get at the change made, so that a database can be updated with that change, for instance.

It automatically sends a request with the change to the server app, but there is no hook on this call, and no way to add additional parameters required to determine what needs to change.

You can add an eventListener, but you need to do a bunch of (hacky type) work to get the change information submitted, and this means that two (or 3 if you submit a second form) requests are sent to the server on each change.
