Question

I’m using load() to insert content into a div container and some of this content needs to be styled using jQuery.

Is there any way to load in the content with an external script without having to place <script> tags into the content itself?

Answer 1

using css should work, you just declare css styles that will affect your loaded data and then they are considered when rendering without having to do anything else

If you need to do it with javascript you can use the complete callback of load function:

$('#yourDiv').load('content.html', function() {
  $("#yourDiv").find("#someDynamicallyLoadedElement").height(500); // do whatever you want here
});
