Thanks Vincent, I already created some client side code which creates a UID using a random number generator and a Unix timestamp then pre-populates the modal box before it appears, so that part of the code is already squared away...at this point it's a working solution, I was just trying to figure a way to prevent my users from having to click create, then add when they create a new page (e.g. Create the doc using only one click)...I'm gonna give it a go with more JavaScript tomorrow I think.
