OnEdit doesn't get called

I am using jQuery .editable() to make a <p> editable.

What I am trying to do is to select the text already in the element when a user clicks on it to edit.

I've read that OnEdit is the option that I should use to call a function every time a user clicks on an .editable object, but for some reason my test alert() isn't being called at all.

JS:

 this.$('.name').editable(function (value, settings) {
        if (value.length > 50)
            value = value.substr(0, 50);
        that.model.save("name", value);
        return(value);
    }, HotelNinjas.Settings.textPluginData);
    this.showRoomType();
    return this;
},
...

onEdit: function (e) {
    alert("edit"); // <<--- DOESN'T GET CALLED
}
});

HTML:

<p class="name">Some Text</p>

Please post a bit more code, or even better, create a jsFiddle. In any case, try using this instead for alerting on edit.

$('.name').on('edit',function (e) {
    alert("edit");
});

Does your javascript console output any errors by chance?
