How to control inline edit/add functions programmatically

The best place to insert the following code snippets is at the very end of the list page.

Open List page in Visual Editor, find the closing </BODY> tag and insert code snippet right before it.

Wrap this code in &lt;script> ... </script> tags.

...

1.Simulate "inline add" click:
inlineAdd(newrecord_id++);
2. Edit all records
setTimeout('$("a[@id^=ieditlink]").each( function() { if(this.id!="ieditlink_add") $(this).click(); });',1000);
3. Edit record number X
$("a#ieditlinkX").click();
where X ranges from 1 to number of records on the page.
You can combine more than one action:
&lt;script>

inlineAdd(newrecord_id++);

$("a#ieditlink3").click();

</script>
This will display inline add form and will make record number 3 editable.
