How to apply in context edit for dataums present in Appearance xml

I Applied the In context edit for datum in Appearance xml, but when i click on the display of Datum ( Alt) in In-Context-Mode, it is displaying the following message:
"You cannot edit this content.
Suggestion: Inform your component developer that an unknown property ID was used for in-context editing."

Code in Appearance xsl:

Please find the attachments:appearance.xsl

Code in Appearance xml:

Please find the attachments:appearance.xml

Any Suggestion?.

Thanks Bala

I don't have any experience with the in-context-edit but is this "/Properties/Datum[@Name='Alt']/@ID" is supposed to be the path to the datum you're look for right?
Are you sure you don't have anything missing like "/Properties/Data/Datum..." ?

I am for sure.I am referring the datum in the Appearance xml( "/Properties/Datum[@Name='Alt']/@ID") and not in content xml. If I am referring from content xml then you are right (/Properties/Data/Datum..." ).

In-context editing only works for properties in the Content XML.

I am trying to provide In context edit for Image datum in the Content Xml, but could not succeed.Any Suggestions?
Following is the code :
For Appearance XSL:
appearance_xsl.txt

For Context XML:
context_xml.txt
Thanks in advance.

Currently the only Datum types that support in-context editing are: Textarea, String, Number, and DCR.

Are these anywhere documented. If yes, can you pls let me know. Coz, im also trying to implement for an image.

Thanks

I verified this was the case in the source code. We are improving the in-context-editing in our current development cycle, so I am curious.

What is your expectation for in-context-editing an image? Do you want to modify the image path and see the image render immediately in the middle of your content?
