You need to have unique id:s in your html, this row <ul id="orders"> is repeated for each record you have, you need to make it unique. Maybe you should add a <li> for each record instead of a new <ul>. The code below has moved out the ul from the loop

<ul id="orders">
<?php 
            $sql = "select * from demo";
            $result = mysql_query($sql);
            while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
            {
        ?>

            <li>
                <span class="noedit name">
                    <?php echo $row->name;?>
                </span>
                <input class="edit name"/>
                <button class="editOrder">Edit</button>
                <button class="cancelEdit">Cancel</button>
            </li>

        <?php } ?>
        </ul>

Alternatively, you can change your id to a class, those are not unique and your jquery willl apply to all elements:

First:

<ul class="orders">

And then in your jquery:

 $('.orders').delegate( //etc
