Can't really comment on the AJAX, because it could be a server side
error.
However, to dynamically determine the href, use the following:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]//a").click(
function() {
var href = $(this).attr('href'); // in this
case this refers to the anchor DOM element, so wrap it in a $() to
return a JQuery object and get he href
$("#stand-summary").load(href);
return false;
}
);
});
