Question

I would like to use jQuery’s load function.

I can write:

$('#somediv').load('somefile.html #aSpecificDivinThatPage'); 

Now I would like to have a variable as the source div in the html page, how do I write that out?

Answer 1

You can just use normal string concatentation:

var div = '#aSpecificDivinThatPage'; $('#somediv').load('somefile.html ' + div);
