Thanks for this info. Unfortunately, I'm getting a JS error "$.ajaxError is not a function". My code is below. Is that the right syntax or do I need to be using a more current version of jQuery? $.ajaxError(function(request, settings){ alert('An error has occurred!'); }); function loadModuleHTML(p_id, p_moduleIndex) { $.post('get_file_contents.php', {mod_index:p_moduleIndex}, function(data){ $("#"+p_id).empty().append('<div class="sortListInner">'+data+'</div>'); }); } $(function(){ loadModuleHTML('li0',0); }); Thanks, - Dave _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
