Thanks. I will try that this morning. I noticed last night that the whole things stopped working. My Grocery Crud can no longer add in new records. The UI just gets stuck. I must have changed something while trying to get this button thing working. I am using the GIT built into phpStorm, so I guess I need to step backwards to find out when I broke it. Once it get it working again I will try out your recommendations above.
thx
