Your question is one that crops up frequently on this list. 1) The $(document).ready() only fires *once* per page load--and that's when the root document's DOM is ready.
2) The $.load() method loads a DOM fragment--not a complete document object. In a nutshell, this means your just added some additional HTML to an existing page. So, putting a $(document).ready() statement inside a page inserted into the DOM via the $.load() method is not expected to work. The correct way to trigger code off after the DOM fragment has been inserted into the document is to use the callback in the $.load() method. $("#feeds").load("feeds.html", null, function (){ alert("Hey, I loaded!"); }); One of the nice benefits to the callback method as well is all your JS is on one spot--not divided amongst templates. -Dan >-----Original Message----- >From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 11:25 AM >To: jQuery (English) >Subject: [jQuery] $(document).ready behavior when using $("#div").load > > >I am using some javascript in the $(document).ready function to decide >which content gets shown.
