Super Simple Jquery Ajax Question

in Using jQuery • 12 years ago

For the life of me, I can't find the answer to this question (yes I've searched and searched and googled and binged)

When I send a jquery $.ajax() request to load an html page, does it load the raw html with the header declaration and all if I don't provide a context?

I want to load any necessary stylesheets that are required of a page that I load in ajax. I figure that I can parse the header, look for stylesheet declarations and append the declarations to my DOM, but not if the only contents I receive are the HTML Body.

Can someone please point me to a simple way to ensure that external style sheets/scripts are loaded and applied to contents loaded through $.ajax()?

I am using the simple $.ajax({url:someurl, success:function(html) {$("#holder").html(html)});

But then I am unsure if the header will be added to the "holder" div so I can parse it using jquery.

I know this is simple, but I figured it would be quicker to ask than to keep trying to figure out the right search terms. I would gladly take an explanation or even just a url to a tutorial that would explain what I want to do better. Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

I guess not. Shocking really. All the brainpower in this forum and nobody knows how to load scripts and styles for ajax content? Rough.

I am really close to having this resolved and will post my findings. Meanwhile, thanks for the great input.

Have you tested this? It would be a simple thing to do wouldn't it? There would be an issue of valid HTML, but you could handle that.

One other thing; folks who are here answering questions are doing so for free, returning something to the community. Just because your questions go unanswered doesn't mean that you are free to insult someone with your sarcasm. It can be a really quick way to earn a trip to /dev/null.

Mr. Blanchard, I encourage you to reconsider the tone with which I posted my last comment. If I appeared to be insincere, sarcastic, or insulting, than I apologize whole-heartedly. I am profoundly grateful for the help that I have received in these forums and for the abundant help that I have received in the #jquery IRC channel.

In fact, I do my best to help as many people as I can in the IRC channel. Fortunately, I am familiar with the frustration that occurs when you are so close to having something accomplished and just need that one bit of information. While some may be insulted by an honest expression of frustration, others may see it for what it is and rely more on the text presented than the subtext.

When I said, "meanwhile, thanks for the great input", it was not meant to be hateful or sarcastic. In fact, you have replied to several of my posts and though this issue was frustrating, it in no way mitigates my appreciation of your help or input.

It seems that one chooses their own subtext and I encourage you to look at these two posts from the perspective of someone who is not only genuinely appreciative, but who is also aware of their own frustration and therefore admittedly asking for you to be patient with me asked for your help.

Again, I apologize for the miscommunication and assure you that your help is greatly appreciated; not just for your replies to my questions, but to your generous response to several people's questions. I will try to be less expressive of my frustration in the future.
