I had a specific requirement and would like to know if anybody had an idea on how I should go ahead with this problem.

I have a custom list (with a custom form) and would like to edit/change entries in standard view itself. For example, I have a dropdown in the form where priority is entered. This is a dropdown (with options high, medium, low) and I would like to update the entry in the list without having to click the edit item button.

Hopefully, I have made myself as clear as possible.If there is anything else please let me know !!

Thanks !

Don't think its possible OOB with a standard view. But a datasheet view will do this without any customization work.

You can use the datasheet view....

Or you can customize your standard view with JavaScript. For example when the user will move the mouse hover the priority then a dropdown will appear and the user can choose a value. After that it's quite easy to update the record from the page with JavaScript (see http://aymkdn.github.io/SharepointPlus/ or http://spservices.codeplex.com/)

But it means you need some advanced skills with JavaScript and HTML...

Any place where I can get a demo / understanding on how to add Javascript to create the dropdown when the user hovers over priority ? –  Abhijit Jun 6 '13 at 18:53
    
Maybe Google ? ;-) –  AymKdn Jun 7 '13 at 10:31
