Rails spinoffs - Jan 2006 - Bug in Scriptaculous 1.5.1 (InPlaceEditor)?

Hello guys,

I''m experiencing a bug in 1.5.1, confirmed by me in IE and others on
the
Rails general list in Safari. It does not manifest itself in Firefox.

In IE and Safari, clicking an Ajax.InPlaceEditor causes two form elements
to be created, rather than the one expected. I''ve examined the code in
controls.js and determined that the event handler "enterEditMode" is
indeed being called two separate times (insert an alert at entry and exit
and you''ll see what I mean).

Anyone know what might be causing this? I''m close to demoing for a
client
but hadn''t run into this in Firefox so assumed (yeah, bad mistake) that
things were good in IE.

I''m going to continue to research, but any input is appreciated. For
what
it''s worth, this behavior is also exhibited in IE and Safari when I try
the demo here:

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

Thanks!

John

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
