Loading a link into a DIV

[Recursion]

Hey,

I have a link on a web page where I would like it to load the linked page into a specific DIV on my site.

Does anyone know how to do this? I assume some JS/AJAX will be involved but I wouldn't know where to start.

Thanks

Ok, I don't think I really need to show you the head code, I just copy pasta'd it into the head, but heres the link code..

<a href="javascript:ajaxpage(rootdomain+'/static/privacy.php', 'content');">privacy1</a>

[iDenning]

Did you name the div 'content' ?

Yes

Use jQuery, it's much better than the other AJAX / Javascript effects classes IMO.

http://jquery.com/

Just include the script include, then do:

<a href="javascript:$('#div_id_here').load(rootdomain+'/static/privacy.php');">privacy1</a>

More info about the jQuery load() function:

Edit - Just a second note, with AJAX, the requested page has to be on the same domain/subdomain.

Way to explain clearly.
