Multiple items with the same id problem (edit-in-place)

Mar 3rd, 2008

Hi all,
Actually, I had posted a thread in the php forum. But I don't know the javascripts and AJAX very well, so would like ask for help from anyone here.

The code below is originally from edit-in-place scripts. But this didn't work for my case. Does anyone know about this?

inside editinplace.js

function init(){
var max=50;
for(i=1; i<max; i++){
makeEditable('item_'+i ; );
} 
}

Thanks in advance.

You can't have multiple items with the same id. It is a W3C violation.

Hi MidiMagic,
ya I just know about that. But what should I do with the multiple id and the javascripts code? Since I have to loop it, that is harder for me without using a while. Besides that, I'm very poor in javascripts. Can you help on this? Thank you very much.

hi
you can access multiple controls as...

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

For i = 8 to 13
		
		fileName   = LCase(load.getFileName("file" & i ))

Got it?

Hi sbv,
Thanks, but i don't get what you mean (forgive me because I'm quite blur)?

mm.. is it related to uploading files? If that is the case, I don't need to upload any file.. and where should I place your code? the code you provided is in what language? ASP? For your information, I'm using PHP.

Thanks.

Multiple items with the same id problem (edit-in-place)

this is your heading but you are telling you are using PHP. id is used at client side programming.

so what is actually your problem ????

what you want to do in PHP ??
your exact problem definition will help us to answer you quickly.

what ever sbv ^ has posted is a way to solve id problem. using this example you can solve your id problem. this is not the exact solution but a way how probably you can solve same id problem.

oh i see, because I don't really familiar of that code. mm.. maybe I should put edit-in-place using AJAX, Javascripts, and PHP problem. I'm sorry to confusing all.

}
