Hi Benjamin, thank you so much for your response to my issues. I ended up not using the jqModal plugin at all and using just the latest version of jQuery (1.2) and adding/modifying your suggestion. Below is the code I implemented to get it to work the way I wanted it to. (If anyone else would like to accomplish the same thing, you can see the live project at: http://abierose.com/clients/hcalvin/index.html http://abierose.com/clients/hcalvin/index.html )
