>Thanks guys! I think I figured this out myself this morning and I am still not comfortable with it in my mind. I guess I think that since the grid in on another page and is not visible it cannot be active and cause all this trouble.

No, that's not the reason...You'll have the same problem even if the grid is on the same page. Erik explained it very well (and quite flamboyantly :) Read his post through again, and try to pretend you're the grid < s >
