Thanks for the comment Blair.
Your advice worked.
It seems strange to put a submit event handler in the callback function of a
.load because the submit event will not happen as soon as the .load is
complete. However, the submit event can happen anytime after the .load is
complete, so I guess that makes sense.
But then again, AJAX related coding is new to me.
Thanks again,
Roy
