thanks, Steve

I'll have to work through your example.  And thanks so much for pointing me to 
xAjax -- I'll look it over.

Sure.  Here's an excerpt of something similar using xAjax in a project 
I'm working on now:

/* HTML */
<a href="javascript:void(null)"
    onclick="this.blur();
            div_off('id_add_note_off');
            xajax_load_contact_notes_server('id_view_note',
            'id_view_note_on', {$notes[i].contact_note_id});
            return false;">
  <img src="/images/icons/edit.gif" border="0" alt="edit"></a>


/* PHP */
function load_contact_notes_server($container_id, $div_id, $contact_note_id)
{
    global $trms;

    $ajax_response = new xajaxResponse();

    // Load vendor

    list($results, $message) = admin_get_contact_notes($trms, 
$contact_note_id, true);

    // ....

    $ajax_response->assign($container_id, 'innerHTML', 
$trms->fetch('view_contact_note.tpl'));
    $ajax_response->call('div_on', $div_id);

    return $ajax_response;
}
