Thanks for showing me the code. I guess you really did not need my example at all. So sorry about that. :) This was all for a project I had to finish by tonight and learning time wasn't included. I ended up using jQuery's ajax load. Calls out to a url and replaces whatever my original content was. But in this case I had to do 2 separate loads and replace 2 different thing. Here is the finished product. Though according to Firebug I may need to get a newer version of the jQuery slider I am using. It loads a little faster with Firebug suspended.
