Rails - Jan 2006 - Bug in Script.aculo.us'' Ajax.InPlaceEditor?

Guys,

I am likely going to submit this as a bug, but wanted to see if anyone 
else is experiencing it. I''m trying to use an Ajax.InPlaceEditor. In 
firefox, it works great, but in IE, it adds two form elements when 
clicked instead of one.

In other words, you have two text fields, two ok buttons, and two cancel 
links after clicking an element to be edited.

This even happens when performing the online demo, found here:

http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Ajax.InPlaceEditor

Can anyone confirm or deny that they''re experiencing similar behavior?

Thanks, as always, for the help!

John

I see that behavior on the demo page using Maxthon (which is basically 
IE with a spiffy front-end).

Yep, I see the same thing in IE6 on win2k with all the latest patches.

Using Safari Version 2.0.3 (417.8), I see the same behavior on that demo 
page. However, in an app of mine which uses InPlaceEditor, it works as 
expected.

I manually updated our app to the most recent Prototype(1.4.0) and 
scriptaculous(1.5.1)...

Thanks guys. It almost looks like a timing issue...I can insert alerts 
into the class in controls.js and the problem goes away...I suspect 
because the alert slow it down enough to fix the problem.

If only setTimeout allowed maintaining of scope, I''d explore this 
further.

Thanks!

Sigh...what fun.

I resolved my issue. It had to do with an accidental typo in the script 
that generates my fields, so that there was a duplicate of two sections 
of about 20 elements. Each of those elements were duplicated, and their 
ids were duplicated. This explains it pretty well.

The reason the demo page at script.aculo.us demonstrates the same 
behavior is that they use the id "editme" in numerous page sections.

Apparently Firefox ignores this, IE and Safari do not.

Thanks,
John
