I have a div on my site that I am populating with a "load" that gets
some html from another file on the server. This included file has a
div on it that I want to now reference and populate with the value of
a hidden form field on the page doing the loading, but when I do it,
it looks like nothing is happening.
code:
//load data from external file into generalInfoData div
$('#generalInfoData').load('_displayGeneralInfo.cfm');
//_displayGeneralInfo.cfm contains an empty div with ID homePhone
//the calling page has a hidden form field with an ID of homePhoneData
var temp = $('#homePhoneData').val();
//when I try to set the homePhone divs html to that of the hidden form
field, nothing happens
$('#homePhone').html(temp);
Is this a timing issue? Where the code that tries to populate the div
fires before the included file is actually there yet?
