In the actual code I'm using, that approach doesn't work, Chuck.
I tried it before, but tried it again, just in case, and I get this in the
generated source, instead of id="135".
<li id="<script>document.write(gNewStoryID)</script>"
{ <a id="createNewSectionLINK" class="linkCreateSection link">yes</a>
] create a content section</li>
Any reason why it would work in
<p id="<script>document.write(gNewStoryID)</script>">xyz</p>
and not in the code above?

Heh, duh.
<p id="<script>document.write(myGlobalVariable)</script>">xyz</p>
That's not best practice, though. You should use DOM scripting to ensure
unobtrusive Javascript (see
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/behavioralseparation).

Why don't you just use something server-side?
