by the ways in you post no#2 how does it behave as i have thought it will load to the div?but you've said now that i will use the .load method?

If you are planning to load the content from an external file, you don't need anything in the content area to start with. You can just leave that content area empty.

You don't need that each method now, because you're not needing to hide anything. The load method replaced the entire content area with what comes from the linked file.

So you would want to use something like this:

Code javascript:

var file = $(this.href);
$("#content").load(file);

Or you could get rid of the variable and do something like this:

Code javascript:

$("#content").load($(this.href));

Personally I prefer the first example, because it's easier to at a glance, understand at what is going on there.

you mean this

var file = $(this.href);
$("#content").load(file);

var file = $(this.href);
$("#content").load(file);

is this okay without putting the div?

var file = $(this.href);
i mean like this $("div#content").load(file);

Yes, that's okay, but the div is a waste because the #content is specific enough to refer to the same item. If you like that keeping the div in there helps to remind you that it's a div, then by all means keep it in there.

It's the same effect, except that all of the content is stored within the page, instead of in separate files.
