Hi Jörn,

Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately the code you sugessted is not picking out the right id either.  Could this be due to the post returning html and not xml like I see in all of the examples of doing something like this?  Can I specify a return type in the post call, or in the callback function?

The alert(html); line shows that the returned data begins with <html>.

Thanks for your help!

Julius

Using selectors by id does ignore the given context. You could instead
try this:
var new_record_id = $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", html).attr('value');

Hope that helps.
