Edit table functionality for more data types

I was excited to find this blog post, as I was needing to implement an "edit table" functionality to replace an existing app which already has the ability to do inline edits on multiple rows:

Unfortunately, this technique only works with text boxes and checkboxes. Is there any chance you could give us some code to make it work with drop-down lists? An even better solution would be a page type that incorporates edit tables natively.

Yes, another request for this feature. The excel grid like functionality is amazing and it would be best to have it as a native page type. The provided code sample is great, but it is very challenging to maintain when adding / removing columns.
I currently use the javascript code to enable multiple editing, but it slows down the page and it is very visible when you see all the fields changing to editable.
Thank You.
