Hi, Keith...
I'm not sure what the final solution will be for your particular issue,
especially since
your are using "home-grown ajax", but I will say that I deal with
DOM-injected code
all the time by using the livequery plug-in available for jQuery. It's
designed for just
this purpose...to apply previous functionality to newly injected DOM code.
I tried using the new .live() function available in the more recent versions
of jQuery,
but that function is more limited in its application from triggers such as
blur, etc.
Check the livequery plug-in for jQuery...it just may make your day.
