It's probably because your jquery code is in $(document).ready() function and it is never fired when you load with .load().
Put your code in callback function like this: $(document).ready(function() { $("#show").click(function() { $("#content").css("overflow-y", "scroll"); $("#content").load("showContent.php", function(){ // your code here... }); }); ---- Read jQuery HowTo Resource - http://jquery-howto.blogspot.com On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 6:40 PM, 123gotoandplay <wesweatyous...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi there, > > I am having a problem to enable jquey in a loaded page. > > For example: > > base.php has jquery and i load showContent.php like: > > $(document).ready(function() { > $("#show").click(function() { > $("#content").css("overflow-y", "scroll"); > $("#content").load("showContent.php"); > }); > > but now the jquery in showContent.php doesn't work. > > if i directly browse to showContent.php the jquery does work > > Any tips?
