Question

kindly have a look at this code:

$('a.load').click(function(){
        setTimeout(function(){
            $(".content_container").append('<div class="preloading"><img src="http://localhost:8888/smart/assets/images/loading.gif" alt="loading" /></div>').show();   
            var url = 'http://localhost:8888/smart/payments.html';
            $.post(url,function(data){
                $('.content_container').append(data).show();
                $('.preloading').remove();
            });             
        },1000);    
});

the problem that it doesn’t return the required url, just the loading image only, it’s just html pages

Answer 1

I see you are referencing localhost:8888, are you running the above code on that same domain? If you are not then I suspect that you are falling prey to the Same origin policy
