thanks ... this still isn't making any sense to me though. the docs say that load
"Bind a function to the load event of each matched element." IOW ... it doesn't actually load anything - it causes some function to get executed each time that element finishes loading. > I believe the online docs are accurate, but load is a flexible > function that you can pass one, two or three args. And href is an > important one - that's what you're loading! > > $('#target').load('myFile.html'); so this just loads myFile without and other function getting executed? loads it where? this is an element .... ie a button, a link or whatever ... how can you load an html file into it? sorry if this is a dumb q ... but this completely doesn't make sense to me. If I failed to R some basic bit of TFM I'd be glad of a pointer ... thanks again. -- Daniel McBrearty email : danielmcbrearty at gmail.com www.engoi.com : the multi - language vocab trainer BTW : 0873928131 _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
