Thanks Anthony. It took me a while to get this to work.
There were two things in my code that that made calling the LOAD return a
"Not Authorized"
1. {{('message' in globals())}} at the top of the calling html file. I had
to delete this.
2. LOAD(... ajax=False, user_signature=True) i.e. I have to have ajax=True
After correcting for these, your suggestion worked.
