Question

i am trying to process a jsp page via ajax request and insert it into the main page like this.

$.get(‘link to page’, function(data) {
$(‘#formContainer’).html(data);
});

in my jsp page that i am getting back from the server there is javascript code that i want to include with the html and will handle the form events (i have many forms and each one has a different functionality)

it seems that the javascript code isn’t added to the page with the html code.

Any way to do to what i want?

thanks.

Answer 1

$.get() will strip out script tags ( see docs);

You can use load() which will honor script. You need to place script after the html it affects since document.ready has already occurred in the main page.

$('#formContainer').load('link to page')

API Reference: http://api.jquery.com/load/

Docs explain script execution
