But at any rate, if you're doing something on an element that doesn't exist yet, then that's what .live is for.  Just put that in your js that is in your page on the element you're expecting.  All .live really does is use event bubbling and event delegation to capture the event on a containing element.

I was thinking perhaps this is where attachbehaviors is supposed to be used, but that, I think, implies that I can alter the code that creates the popup, and I cannot...I just need to 'hook' into its close event.
