Hi Mark,

Let's see if I can figure this out... So you've loaded a bunch of LIs
into an UL. So, for simplicity, let's say you do:

$("ul")
.html(... all your LIs, loaded from somewhere ...)
.find("li")
.click(function(){
alert(this.innerHTML);
});

Now, I think that should do the trick, if I'm not mistaken. I was
doing some similar code recently, and I remember doing something like
that. Let me know if this helps you out.
