Using php/mySQL

In a nutshell, i have a loop that goes through all items in a recordset and
displays an 'Update' form for each.
There is only one update transaction needed/used at any one time, but there
may be many forms with the same field ids and names for each. All transactions
work fine but the Date Picker widget only displays on the first of each
repeated field .

For examples sake, lets say there are 3 items, with a form containing 'Title',
'Desc', 'Date' textfields named and IDed respectively.
I have applied the Date Picker widget to the 'Date' form field. When the page
is viewed , the first item in the recordset shows with a Date Picker but the
next two do not ...

How do i fix this problem, is there a way to uniquely identify each widget ,
is this what will fix my prob ?

Help much appreciated.

Thanks
