The first issue I see is that you're using HTML comments <!-- like this --> inside your JavaScript. You should only use JavaScript comments /* like this */ in order to avoid invalid syntax.

 Thank you for pointing that out, I have changed all my comments.

But it does not resolve my issue. When I click once on the home link from another page I can't do anything else besides clicking another time on the home link to get to my page. When I click on the home link from my home page it opens my header again...

Hey Guest,

The issue you're having is that you're actually executing the function in the callback slot, rather than passing in a reference to the function. You're doing:

function loadContent() {
   $('#left').load(page,'',showNewContent())
}

function loadContent() {
  $('#left').load(page,'',showNewContent)
}
In the first case, you are first executing the function, and then passing its result (undefined) as the callback that should be executed. Instead, you want to pass a reference to the function (showNewContent), which will be executed when the animation completes.

Hey thanks that fixed my problem ( although small issue with content moving to the right) 

But now I understand it more, its like other programming languages can't imagine I missed that :)
