ok, this works for me:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#refresh").click(function() {
$("#Container").load("index.html");
return false;
});
});
</script>
<style>body{ font-size: 11px; font-family: Arial; }</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Container"></div>
<a href="#" id="refresh">click</a>
<h2>Rest of the page</h2>
</body>
</html>
Use it as a test page
