Glad it helped :), the sequence problem is something that has caught me off
guard quite a few times :).Hope you've worked it all out.

Finally!  That appears to have been the problem. (asynchronous method)
That explains why the content was appearing in some places of the dom,
but not in others and not in the alert.

This has been driving me crazy all day! :oP

Thanks, Josh!

Rick - the load method is asynchronous, so you have to get the html from
#favoritesHold in a callback from the load method.  Otherwise, the
subsequent code after the load method is running before the html is returned
from the server.

Hmmm...tried that and couldn't get it to work...something strange is going
on.

Tried this sequence, too:

var favoritesHTML = '../components/userFavoritesHTML.cfm?' + new
Date().getTime();

$('#noFavorites:visible').hide();


$('#favoritesHold').load(favoritesHTML);

var newHTML = $('#favoritesHold').html();

$('.menu1').append(newHTML);

I can see the HTML on the screen in the #favoritesHold in the second line of
code above,
but nothing gets appended to .menu1.

Any other suggestions?

Actually,  this would be better I think:

The idea being to consruct a temp placeholder for your loaded html

Thanks!

The single quotes (one being reversed) was just a problem
with cut-and-paste into the email...font was changed.

Also, I have never understood (never really tried to...) why id's
can't be numbers or start with a number.  I started using numbers
before I knew it wasn't supposed to be that way...never had a problem
with them, however.

Why is that a bad thing?

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!

1 thing you need to make sure is that you must call this script of line

if the contents of the '#favorites' is changing dynamically then you will get

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):

 



 216 West Daryl Drive, 
Hinesville

 

  

 



   



 51 Julie Lane, Midway

 

  

 



 

 

Now I want to append that code to this element:  

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  in the above 
,

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 .

 

Thoughts or suggestions?

 

Rick

The syntax looks okay.

Are you using Firebug to verify that #favorites (which appears to be a
mysterious  somewhere) is actually being loaded as you expect?
Does it actually contain the  tags you show above?

Also, you might want to eliminate #favorites altogether by taking a
page from jQuery's load implmentation like this:

$("").load(favoritesHTML).html().appendTo(".menu1");
