Just to be extra clear, I am using jquery to overide an existing rails action (/save_record). The action is returning the html and is what is used to generate the first instance of the html that is being displayed. So the html that the $.post is recieving is the full shebang - I am not sure if the headers, _javascript_s, whatnot would get in the way of parsing it correctly.
Cheers,
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.
