I really hope this makes sense. I've got a script that generates a textbox using a form button. When you click on the textbox, a small module opens up using jQuery. Based on user inputs, it calculates a number and then proceeds to close the window and print the answer in the textbox. However, nothing gets printed. I've use Firefox Firebug to ensure that the jQuery code is all correct and it is, so my guess is since the textbox is generated AFTER the page is fully loaded, the new textbox doesn't register and therefore the jQuery script has no idea that it exists. Is there anything I can do to get around this? Thanks!

By assigning a var name to the element, you can use that to control the element:

var textBox = $('<textarea/>');
 
$('body').append(textBox);
 
$(textBox).val('add a new value');

I did have that. Turns out I jumped the gun too fast and just assumed that something weird was going on. My event handler wasn't executing because the personal who wrote the tutorial forgot to assign the ID for the link so that it would execute. Last time I listen to a newbie programmer. Thanks though
