Hi, It is static, but that is a very good solution. I've found a way of working around it, but I had to modify jQuery. What I do is on the $.ajax call add another parameter called scriptContext and then set this to the js that I want 'injected' into any scripts run. In practice I set this to 'var xxx=thedomidoftheparent;' and then in the loaded script access that var and gain access to the parent html element.
Your solution looks cleaner than mine. Thanks for your insight.
