Hmm ok.
So i what i am getting from this is that i can refer to elements
inside of the response object.
$('#cold room').html($('house.of_bricks', piggies).html());
So in my case if i call my file and build 3 different divs inside of
the html output I can then take the innerHTML from each of the
response divs and populate the divs that i have on the page.
I think i got it. I will let you know if it works out.
thanks a lot for your piggy example :)
