Hi, Dhruva, and thanks for the reply…
Yes, there are a lot of variables that could affect the actual data, but I just
wanted to make sure, first,
that it wasn’t a syntax problem.
Since it’s not, I’ll go a little deeper.
Basically, I’ve got backend code that generates html and outputs it to a page.
This is what ends up on the page (userFavoritesHTML.cfm):
<li>
<a id="59" class="viewFavoriteDetails link">216 West Daryl Drive,
Hinesville</a>
<span id="59" class="deleteFavorite">
<img src="../graphics/delete_over.png" style="border:0;
cursor:pointer;">
</span>
</li>
<li>
<a id="60" class="viewFavoriteDetails link">51 Julie Lane, Midway</a>
<span id="60" class="deleteFavorite">
<img src="../graphics/delete_over.png" style="border:0;
cursor:pointer;">
</span>
</li>
Now I want to append that code to this element: <ul class=”menu1”></ul>
So, I thought I’d do this:
var favoritesHTML = '../components/userFavoritesHTML.cfm?' + new
Date().getTime();
$('#favorites').load(favoritesHTML);
var appendHTML = $(‘#favorites’).html();
$('.menu1').append(appendHTML);
I need to get the html of #favorites since it’s an <li></li> in the above
<ul></ul>,
otherwise, I end up with li’s embedded within other li’s.
When I run the code above, I get no errors from Firebug, but also no content if
I use alert(appendHTML), and no content is appended to <ul class=”menu1”></ul>.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Rick

It depends on what $('#favorites').html() contains, have you checked that? Are
you sure the id is correct?
The syntax by itself is absolutely correct, but what you should see in your
site is something that depends on a lot of things such as what the $('menu1')
contains and what it should etc...try checking if the .html() is returning the
right data, then check if it is actually getting appended using firebux, after
you have reached that stage and confirmed the same check if the styles are
right...
Thanks & Regards,

I get no errors in firebug when it’s run, but not code appended to .menu1,
either…
