Thanks Ryura -- That's exactly what I thought I could do, but could not get it to work. That's when I came up with my much less elegant solution that works OK, but I have the feeling has some serious shortcomings.
The error I get with your solution is "Value undefined (result of expression "<li><input type='text' value=" + item.a + " /></li>".hide) is not object." I tried removing everything but the <li></li> (and then removing the closing </li> just in case) to verifying that it wasn't a problem generating the DOM elements, but that didn't change the nature of the error. Thanks! Nate
