[Rails] Trying to use AJAX to delete a new record

I have some AJAX in my app which works fine to add new people to a list
shown on-screen. The problem comes if I try to delete one of the new
people. Once saved, there is no problem, as there is an id to delete
with. The problem comes when I try to remove a new person from the
screen. The closest I got was a div around all people and a remove of
that div. All the delete links ( one each person) would delete the first
item on the list..(of course since it only had the div holding
everything to use). I tried div_for and content_tag, but each needed an
id to work with..

Please help.. Thanks

some code..
people.html.erb

<b>People in Household</b>
<% @household.build_person unless @household.people %>
<table border=1>
<th width=60 align=left>Sex</th><th width=60 align=left>Month</th><th
width=60 align=left>Day</th><th width=60 align=left>Year</th>
<div id="people">
<%= render :partial => 'person', :collection => @household.people %>
</div>
<%= link_to_function "Add a Person" do |page| page.insert_html :after,
:empty_row, :partial => 'new_person', :object => Person.new end %>
<tr id="empty_row">
