[jQuery] Simple AJAX call is not loading?

[scheda]

I'm trying to do what should be a fairly simple AJAX call. However
it's not playing nicely.

Here is the code I have so far.

$(document).ready(function() {
                                $('loading').ajaxStart(function() {
                                        $(this).show();
                                }).ajaxStop(function() {
                                        $(this).hide();
                                });

                                $('#menu > li > a').click(function() {
                                        $('page').load($(this).attr("href") + 
'.php', function() {
                                                $(this).fadeIn();
                                        });
                                        return false;
                                });
                        });

I've been trying to debug this for the last hour but am coming up with
zilch.

Please help me figure out what's wrong with this. A big thanks is in
order if you do!
