I have the same question. I want to load some external file, for example: http://www.google.com.
This is my code: <html> <head> <title>jQuery - Ajax dynamic content loading</title> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/ javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function loadContent(id) { $.ajax({ url: "http://www.google.com", cache: false, success: function(html){ $("#contentArea").append(html); } }); } </script> </head> <body onLoad="loadContent();"> <div id="contentArea" style="margin: 20px 0px 10px 10px; border: 1px solid #CCC; width: 780px; height: 250px; float: left;"> </div> </body> </html>
