jquery - Load content of a div on another page

Question

You will see from this code that it loads the content URL from the hash tag. Is there anyway to load only a single div element from that external page.

$(function() {
    if(location.hash) $("#content_inload").load(location.hash.substring(1)); 
    $("#nav a").click(function() {
            $("#content_inload").load(this.hash.substring(1));
    });
});

so something like after .substring(#inload_content(1))

but that does not work.

Thanks

Answer 1

You just need to add a jquery selector after the url.

See: http://api.jquery.com/load/

Example straight from the API:

$('#result').load('ajax/test.html #container');

So what that does is it loads the #container element from the specified url.
