I need to webpart

You may have noticed that you cant have 2 working "i need to webparts" on the same page. In order to solve this problem i edited the xslt and modified the javascript function name that was called to my own custom function name. I then added my own function to the master page to handle multiple webparts. If storing in the masterpage is not an option you could make a new/edit a js file in the 12 hive or add the script inline in the xslt.(however the script will be printed for every webpart that appears on the page.

In order to make the changes quickly to all the webparts and to have more control in the future i stored the xslt in a top level document library then added the url to the xsl link property in the webparts i wanted to use this new script. i also exported and saved the new "i need to webpart"(with xsl link) to the webpart gallery for reuse later on.
