Hi Matt,
 
Thanks for your reply. I couldn't get this to work, but I appreciate your 
taking the time to reply.
 
I'm thinking of just having the user use a regular form for requests with 
multiple records, and continue to use editinplace for requests with just one 
record.
 
Best,
 
Audrey

You could just make your code into a function and pass the same php
variable as the parameter:

function newInPlaceEditor(itemID)
{
new Ajax.InPlaceEditor('title_'+itemID, '/demoajaxreturn.html', {rows:
15,cols:40});
}

then your code:

<div id='title_<?php echo '$id'?>'><a href="javascript://"
onclick='newInPlaceEditor(<?php echo '$id'; ?>'>edit me</a></div>

(not tested)
