How do I use the JavaScript from a file I included using jQuery through GET


Question

Hi people. I know, after some Googling, that it is possible to manipulate a loaded content through Ajax and interact with it, with:


$(document).ajaxComplete(function(){
// fire when any Ajax requests complete
})
[/CODE]

But what I want is the following:

[CODE]
$.get('http://thepath.to/my/site/and/file.php', function(data)
{
var content_s = $(data).find('#cds_global');
$('#dlm_btn_settings').html(content_s)

});
[/CODE]

I want to load a page. From that page, I would like to get a specific <div> hence the ".find" function.

Now, from that <div> whose ID is "cds_global" (Without quotes), I would like to get ALL HTML + JavaScript functionality.... How do I do that?

Edit: BTW, thanks a lot in advanced :p

Try to specify dataType in the get request as html:

dataType The type of data expected from the server. Default: Intelligent Guess (xml, json, script, or html)

Also, I believe if you use .load() and specify the div, it will run scripts in that div. If all you're doing with the data returned is pulling out a single div, .load() is the better call to use.

When calling .load() using a URL without a suffixed selector expression' date=' the content is passed to .html() prior to scripts being removed. This executes the script blocks before they are discarded. If .load() is called with a selector expression appended to the URL, however, the scripts are stripped out prior to the DOM being updated, and thus are not executed. An example of both cases can be seen below:

Here, any JavaScript loaded into #a as a part of the document will successfully execute.


$('#a').load('article.html');
[/CODE]

However, in the following case, script blocks in the document being loaded into #b are stripped out and not executed:

[CODE]
$('#b').load('article.html #target');
[/CODE]

[/quote']

:D.

I made it work. I just pinpoint it directly without grabbing the portion I wanted!

[CODE]
$('#dlm_btn_settings').load('http://where.my/file/resides/file.php.php');
[/CODE]

Thanks a lot threetonesun!!!! :D

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
