[Solved] Call a Javascript function multiple times with the same HTML ID

by


You may do this :

<p onclick='myfunction("myThing")'> Click this new text for input box below </p>
<script>
function myfunction(id){
 document.getElementById(id).innerHTML='<input type="text"/>';
 }
 </script>

Demonstration

Note that you may also make the whole thing simpler : simply not use any id but let the function find the next element :

<p onclick='myfunction(this)'> Click this text for input box  below </p>
<b>input box appears .. ta daa</b>
<p onclick='myfunction(this)'> Click this new text for input box below </p>
<div> but no input box appears here, the line above must turn this text into a  textbox, but it doesn't because of similar id, how do i fix the id problem without defining a new id over and over?</div>

​<script>
function myfunction(element){
    do {
        element = element.nextSibling;
    } while (element && element.nodeType != 1);
    element.innerHTML='<input type="text"/>';
 }
</script>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
