jQuery Loading External Content

jQuery Loading External Content

I was hoping to get some advice from the people in the forum for this one:

I'm currently designing the framework for my portfolio and I wanted to take advantage of AJAX/jQuery for this next project. I've been buried inside the documentation and tutorials on jQuery's site so I'm starting to get pretty familiar with the syntax.

I was interested in finding a tutorial on how to properly load external content into a div with the CSS styling still in tact. http://www.threeformed.com/ was a prime example of something I wanted to try and create where a user clicks a link and the external content is loaded dynamically and even contains a loading text status.

http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxcontent.htm was a tutorial I found similar but I wanted to post on the forum to see if there were other routes to take that were better.

Thanks in advance.
