Question

i wanted to know whether or not,there is a way by which we can extract HTML contents of a <div> using jQuery,given that the HTML content is not present but is extracted from another file such as a PHP file,dynamically

$("#layer").html() just gives a null value,as originally the file has no HTML inside <div id="layer">

thanks!

Answer 1

I would say, use the either the success or complete callback functions of the $.ajax() function, everything inside these callbacks will be executed as soon as the $.ajax() function has completely loaded successfully.

Here: jQuery Ajax Look at the Callback Functions section.
