POload() in jQuery

copied!<p>I have some questions about jQuery and the <code>load()</code> function.</p> <p>I have a form which sends 3 params that are needed for a query. I wanted to load the data to a specified <code>div</code> without reloading a page so I tried with <code>load</code> function in jQuery. It seems ok but there are some questions that I need to ask.</p> <p>I made a <code>div</code> with id "response" that I will use to load data. I've done something like this:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { $("#response").load(("search.php?param1=1&param2=2&param3=3$search=send")) }); </code></pre> <p>And it works fine. But I have tried to do it in a function</p> <pre><code>function search() { $("#response").load(("search.php?param1=1&param2=2&param3=3$search=send")) } </code></pre> <p>and then use it when dom tree is ready. The query returned what I wanted it to, but on the new page. Well, during writing that I tried using <code>return false</code> which should block the page and keep it from reloading (Am I wrong here ?).</p> <p>When the <code>return false</code> statment is in the search function and the function is used</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { search(); }) </code></pre> <p>it doesn't work. But when I place a return statement after the <code>search()</code> call, it works the way it should. Can someone tell me why?</p> <p>After that, I was wondering if there is a chance to do the same thing using the <code>ajax</code> function in jQuery.</p>

Querying!
