Thanks Richard for your reply.
I have tried your code but looks like something is wrong.
To be sure I catch the right id I tried something like
$("#product_links a").bind("click", function() { alert( $
(this).parent().attr("id") ); });
and I get an empty alert window.
Am I missing something?
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it
