Hi all,
I'm having the problem while using the edit-in-place scripts from internet. It's ok when i just used for one text id, but after i added a while loop because of multiple items and it become only the 1st text id content works. So below here i post a piece of my code, hope any here can help on this. How to do the multiple items with the same id? Please help. Thank you very much.

PHP Code:

while($disp=mysql_fetch_array($disp_de))

{

            

echo '<tr><td>';

$dis= $disp['pp_photo_desc'];

echo "<p id=\"desc\">".$dis."</p>";

cho '</td></tr>';



}

PHP Code:

#should be
echo '</td></tr>';

If I'm not mistaken, an id is supposed to be a unique identifier; in other words, no two elements or fields are supposed to have the same id.

thanks End User. ya, i know about it. But I have to echo it out to display so i put it into the while loop. mm.. Is it possible to put the id into an array?
for example,

echo "<p id=\"desc_$i\">".$dis."</p>";

But this is what I had tried, and it can't work. Anything I missed? or should I modify inside the js file? Any expert, please guide me. Thanks a lot.

Well, there's your problem. Doing that assigns it to multiple fields. You can't really violate a basic syntactical requirement and expect things to work properly.

Try incrementing the id in your loop or work from a list.
