Using AJAX to load WordPress pages

Question

Hi,

I am trying to get it so that when a link is clicked in my WordPress template, it will load that page content with AJAX without changing the page. It needs to load dynamically into my content area depending on which link is clicked.

I have never used AJAX before so I would love it if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Wade

If you have access to jQuery, you could start by checking out their AJAX API Reference. There are plenty of examples in there, too!
