As I recall an answer was given (by me) in post http://www.thescripts.com/forum/post3097097-6.html in the PHP forum.

Why don't you react to that post and tell us what you did with its suggestion. When you do not react tot posts, people are not inclined to continue their assistance.

Hi ronverdonk, I'm sorry about that. I thought you ask me to post here rather than in PHP forum. Thanks for your help. I did try your suggestion but I modify a bit in the fifth line and also the <b>editinplace. js</b> as shown below. After I tried, I got what I want but that's an error on page icon show in the left bottom of my ie browser. Do you what happen to this error?

Line: 3813
Char: 5
Error: Object required
Code: 0

[PHP]
while($disp=mys ql_fetch_array( $disp_de))
{
echo '<tr><td>';
$dis= $disp['pp_photo_desc'];
echo '<p id="desc'.$a.'" >'.$dis."</p>";
echo '</td></tr>';
$a++;
}
[/PHP]

function init(){
var max=50;
for(i=0; i<max ;i++){
makeEditable('desc'+i);
}
}

[ronverdonk]

function init(){
var max=50;
for(i=0; i<max ;i++){
makeEditable('desc'+i);
}
}

are you sure you have 50 items to makeEditable? I assume that you have less and therefore you run into this error. If you use the dom to do anything you must verify in your JS rouitine that the object exists.

haha, not sure. Sometimes less than but sometimes more than that. But due to this, I ever tried to put the for statement like for(i=0; ;i++), but this will make my pc hang. If really can't verify, then do you have any idea to make the error on the page icon disappear? Thank you. ^^

My opinion is to test the existence of the id in the function, like

function init(){
  var myId;
  var max=50;

  for(i=0; i<max ;i++){
    myId='desc'+i;
    if (getElementById(myId))   	
       makeEditable(myId);
  }
}

but I am not a really good JS expert, so give it a try.
