  1. POHow can I write a function that relies on dynamic selectors?
    text
    copied!<p>I am writing a function to dynamically load jQuery UI accordian leaves with content. I know (think) the AJAX part works as I lifted it from another working AJAX loader I have, but the function as a whole does not work.</p> <p>The code: </p> <pre><code> function load_leaf(link){ var link = link; $.ajax({ cache : false, type : 'POST', async: false, url : 'includes/'+ link +'.php?'+ new Date().getTime(), dataType : 'text', data: { owner : '$user_id' }, success: function(msg){ $("#" + link).html(msg); console.log('Can\'t see me in Chrome, but ok in firefox !') }, error: function() { console.log($.makeArray(arguments)); }, complete: function() { console.log($.makeArray(arguments)); } }); }; $(function(){ $('.accordian').click(function(){ var link = this.getAttribute("link"); load_leaf(link); }); }); </code></pre> <p>For whatever reason this does not work. The break point seems to be this line<br> <code>$("#" + link).html(msg);</code><br> Specifically the selector, as a hard coded selector works perfectly. The link variable is correctly filled i know this as i can alert the value correctly. The link is not the problem as i replaced the whole ajax function with a simple add class and it a still did not work, it also broke at the selector. </p> <p>EDIT:<br> This is the div as printed by php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;h3 class="accordian" id="'.$tab_id.'" link="'.$tab_link.'" &gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;'.$tab_name.'&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div id="'.$tab_link.'"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>The html for the first one is:</p> <pre><code> &lt;h3 class="accordian" id="accordian_manage.php" link="accordian_manage.php" &gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Manage Images&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div id="accordian_manage.php"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>
