After I posted my message, I tried that but I want to capture the
current value of 'id' at the time of function definition, not a
reference to it since it could change by the time the handler gets
called. This seems like it should be easy, but I'm kinda confused. How
do I capture the value of 'id' at the time I define that handler
function?
Thanks for the reply!
