Rails - Aug 2006 - In place editing on a list - not passing ID through

I want to do in-place edits on a list of data, but I''m having trouble 
getting the ID passed through to the controller.

I use this in my view to create the field:

<% for frame in @frames %>
  ...
  <%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price %>
<% end %>

and this produces the following in my output:

<span class="in_place_editor_field" 
id="frame_price__in_place_editor">0.0</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
new Ajax.InPlaceEditor(''frame_price__in_place_editor'', 
''/frames/set_frame_price'')
//]]>
</script>

I understand from some research that what I''m after is to replace 
"frame_price__in_place_editor" in both places with 
"frame_price_xx_in_place_editor", where "xx" is the id of
the item to be
updated, but I cannot figure out how to modify the call to 
in_place_editor_field to pass the id in. I''ve tried the following with 
no luck...

<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, :id => frame %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, :id => frame.id %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, {:id => frame} %>
<%= in_place_editor_field :frame, :price, {:id => frame.id} %>

I''d appreciate any help.

Have since discovered that I also need the URL in the Ajax call to 
include the id of the item to be updated, as such:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
new Ajax.InPlaceEditor(''frame_price_xx_in_place_editor'',
''/frames/set_frame_price/xx'')
//]]>

...where "xx" is the id of the item to be updated. Still having no
luck.

thanks.

I have since changed view code to the following...

<%=in_place_editor_field (:frame, :price, {:id => 
"frame_price_#{frame.id}_in_place_editor"}, {:url => 
"/frames/set_frame_price/#{frame.id}"}) %>

...and this appears to be accomplishing what I''m after, but seems 
extremely kludge-y.

Still wondering if there is a better way of doing this?

thanks.
yb.

I think the in_place_editor_field helper works if you''ve only got one, 
in a list you need to somehow tell the different ones apart...one way is 
to use their ids

<%@frames.each do |frame|%>
  <span
id="price_<%=frame.id%>"><%=frame.price%></span>
  <%=in_place_editor("price_#{frame.id}",
           {:url => "/frames/set_frame_price/#{frame.id}"})%>
<%end%>

In the controller:

def set_frame_price
  frame = Frame.find(params[:id])
  frame.price = params[:value]
  frame.save
  render :text => frame.price
  #i put a return in here once...baaaaaad results :]
end

Hope this works
