Question

How do I get jquery to stop replacing text from an ajax request.

var nameid = 1;
$(document).ready(function(){
$('button').click(function(){
$('#loadbox').load('mysqlquery.php?id='+nameid);

nameid++;

});
});// DONT DELETE

It pulls the info I want just when I make another call it replaces the previous word.

Don’t use .load() .. use jQuery.get() ^docs for the AJAX part and .append() ^docs to add them to the element you want (while preserving the existing info)

(also you can indent you code to avoid comment like // DONT DELETE)

var nameid = 1;
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('button').click(function(){
        $.get('mysqlquery.php?id='+nameid, function(data){
            $('#loadbox').append(data);
        });
        nameid++;
    });
});
