You can do what you want, but it's not a simple "one call". Essentially to load an element with some "remote" content you first have to call it then pump it into the innerHTML. Most libraries will help with this. I've got two components that, together, make it easy. The first is a Request Pooler that simplifies AJAX-style requests: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_R equestPool/Index.cfm The second is a "panel manager". One feature of it is an advanced "load" method that will also load and enable any script that's found in the content. http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_P anelManager/Index.cfm If you're not going to ever load any script into the div then you can ignore the panel manager and just use innerHTML as you always would. I've appended a simple example of how this would work. I know it looks complicated, but it really makes sense when you walk through it. Let me know if you want me to dig deeper into anything.
