Thanks, Dhruva…that turned out to be the problem.
Things were happening out of sequence. With a callback, everything is now in order. var favoritesHTML = '../components/userFavoritesHTML.cfm?' + new Date().getTime(); $('#favoritesHold').load(favoritesHTML, function() { var newHTML = $('#favoritesHold').html(); $('.menu1').append(newHTML); }); Thanks for your help!
