I think you need to have a look over the Ajax docs again: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax
I'm not sure what you're expecting to have happen. What do you mean "returns an array to an HTML template"? Your $.ajax(...) call will get the contents of get_photos?vehicle_id=... and pass it as a parameter to your success callback function where it's your responsibility to deal with it (i.e., add it to the document). Maybe you want to do: $.ajax({ ..., success: function(data) { $('#showPhotos').append(data); } }); --Erik On 8/27/07, Steve Finkelstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Michael, > > Thanks for the reply. > > Don't think that did the trick unfortunately.
