$(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("input.editableTDItem"); is probably
finding every thing you're added. Are you sure there's only one element in the
resultant jQuery object? Either way, if the last input field is the only one
your care about at the moment you can modify your search to be
$(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("input.editableTDItem:last");
