Thought I would share how i’ve used this: I created an argument named ‘musicstyle’ and then in the html when I run the show_highlight script it passes the variable as the ‘musicstyle’.

(javascript)
function show_hightlight(musicstyle) {
$(“#swapout”).load(‘show_’+department+’.php’,false);
return false;
}

(html)

This allowed me to have one function that can call as many php pages as I want passing the argument replacing the ‘musicstyle’. So after it runs, it ends up coding out as one the variables in place of the argument ‘musicstyle’.

For example:
‘show_trance.php’
‘show_hiphop.php’
‘show_breakbeat.php’

see, the word trance was passed into +musicstyle+ when that link was selected, if the hiphop link gets selected, it passes the variable ‘hiphop’ into +musicstyle+

So then I just code up a few pages with those names to have data show up for them (show_trance.php, show_hiphop.php,etc)

Just thought I would share

I found this and thought it was useful. But what if you wanted to just load a text file?
I noticed if I replace the .php file for a .txt file, it seems to work in all browsers but it doens’t work in IE browsers at all.

I can’t seem to find anywhere on the web about jquery not being able to load txt files. IF you have any advice please let me know..

What are your rates for freelance work?

Actually I Have a full time job, so there is no much time for freelancing... But if it is not a big job, I would charge you 50$ per hour.

Hi Algirdas,
A quick message to ask if you would be interested doing a bit of freelance work. I need a javascript which is similar to yours, but with additional functionalities. I’ll give you more details if you are interested.
best regards,
Tim
