I came up with a clunky work around involving changing the editable code which wasn't ideal. Talking to Dylan, he suggested doing the following which works like a charm.
$(".editable").each(function(i) { $(this).editable("page-update.cfm?action=updatePageName", { paramName: "pageName", callback: doneUpdatingPageName, saving: "Saving... ", extraParams: { pageID: this.id.split("-")[1] } }); }); Using each() to apply editable() to each element in turn. Adrian
