Question

Answer 1

A:

Check your html you are putting in does the form also have an id attribute? As # is used in jQuery as the id selector.

$("[name=formname]") // if you need to use the name

Selectors: http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/

Yes, it is on purpose that I use #.

Answer 2

A:

The .load() method is lower case, like this:

$('#Console').load(this.href + ' #container');

Also make sure you're looking for it after it loads, like this:

$('#Console').load(this.href + ' #container', function() {
  var form = $('#formid');
});

Answer 3

A:

Make sure you are trying to retrieve the form on complete of the ajax load. Ajax is happening asynchronously remember.

should look like this:

$('#Console').load(this.href + ' #container', function(){
    $('#formname'); // get form here
});

also check you syntax in the load url string. Need to have a space before the '#container'

I think the problem is that the new html is not loaded in the DOM. What should I do?

if you moved the form selector into the callback function then there must be a different problem. Make sure your selectors are right. There needs to be an element id="Console" somewhere on the page. check the url, and make sure the ajax load page has an id="container" on it.

$(document).ready(function () { $("a").click(function () { $('#console').load(this.href + ' #container', function () { alert($('#side2form').id); }); return false; }); });

the $('#side2form') cannot be found. alert($('#side2form').id) returns undefined. The returned html has the element 'side2form'.

should be $('#side2form').attr('id'). And also look at the this object inside the success function. you could do $(this).find('#side2form'). this is the loaded content from ajax inside the success function. See jquery load api on jquery site for more information.
