I'm confused. I thought in your first post you said you didn't want it
to append, and now it seems like you're saying you do?
At any rate, the syntax for get is documented here:
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax#.24.get.28_url.2C_params.2C_callback_.29
In your case, it would be something like this:
$.get('generate.cfm', function(data) {
$('#files_list').after(data);
});
But again, I'm not quite sure what you're looking for, and I'm going
to bed now :)
Check out the API for more help. In particular, it seems like the
"Manipulation" section could be useful for you:
http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Manipulation
Good luck!

What I want to do is take and add whatever image the ajax call returns
and add it to the list... maybe it is better to just return the name
of the image and then use jquery to actually add the <img > tag?
I think I am getting close.
