Question

jQuery("#menu li a").click(function(){
            var page_url = jQuery(this).attr("href")
            jQuery(".wide_main").html("<p>loading...</p>");
            jQuery(".wide_main").load( page_url + '#main_content');
});

I have this code but it just loads the entire requested page instead of just the #main_content div.

Thanks.

try to add space between url and #main_content
