OK, going back to this function:
*$j(function(){
bindEdit = function(){
$j('#edit').bind("click", function(){
var linkval = $j(this).attr("href");
$j('#jobinfo').load(linkval, function(){
bindEdit();
});
return false;
});
}
//bindEdit();
});
If it's a case where the item 'edit' doesn't exist on the loaded page, it
would cause an error, correct? If so, how do I first check if it exists,
then only do the binding if it exists?
