Question

I want to pull only a specific div from the page my link is pointing to.

My links are formatted like this : <a href="about-smith.asp" class="pic">img</a>

$(function(){
        $("a.pic").live('click', function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $("#subsidebar").load($(this).attr("href") + "#subcontent");
         });
    });

And I want that to pull only the #subcontent div from about-smith.asp. It’s displaying the content in the #subsidebar div, but it’s the entire page.

You need to add a space between the url and the selector:

$("#subsidebar").load($(this).attr("href") + " #subcontent");
                                              ^
