Some content...
Now I need to load some file into inner-block, but save it's old content.
$('#inner').load( 'pathToFile.html' );
Will replace old content of div.
Thanks.
So, as I understand my code should be:
old = $('#inner').html();
$('#inner').load( 'pathToFile.html' );
$('#inner').html( old + $('#inner').html() );
?
I'd recommend against using stuff like 'load' and the other ajax helpers. They're just wrappers around $.ajax. Off the top of my head, maybe you want:
$.ajax( {
url: 'pathToFile.html',
type: 'get',
success: function( r ) {
$('#inner').append( r );
}
} );
Instead of the way you doing you need to look at these functions ..
append( content ) Returns: jQuery
Append content to the inside of every matched element.
appendTo( selector ) Returns: jQuery
Append all of the matched elements to another, specified, set of elements. As of jQuery 1.3.2, returns all of the inserted elements.
prepend( content ) Returns: jQuery
Prepend content to the inside of every matched element.
prependTo( selector ) Returns: jQuery
and yes @thenduks method is a better way.
var oldHtml = $('#inner').html();
$('#inner').load( 'pathToFile.html' );
var originalContent=$('#inner').html();
$('#inner').load( 'pathToFile.html' );
is that what you are after?
