Don't use $.load. Use $.ajax (or $.get or $.post).
$("#userlogin", "#container").everyTime(7500,function() {
$.ajax({
url: '/ajax/userlogin',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'html',
success: function(data) {
if (data) {
$(this).animate(...);
}
}
});
});
This assumes that your everyTime function is working. I'm not sure
what that is.
