Matt, thanks for your response. I had originally posted this on jquery-dev group but was referred to this group. How do I access the id of the jquery object returned from the next() function? I tried Matt's suggestion below but I get an 'undefined' when I alert state.attr('id'). thank you.

Also, I agree with Dave, this isn't the place for this kind of question. - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 6:20 PM, Dave Methvin <dave.meth...@gmail.com> wrote: > The jQuery-en group is a better fit for this question.
