First off, you are starting off with some really bad habits... something like
<a href="..." class="edit_one">One</a> <a href="..." class="edit_two">Two</a> <a href="..." class="edit_three">Three</a> and then saying 'a[class^="edit_"]' is a bad way to access those links, as "class" acts a little different than a parameter like "width" or "id" something like <a href="..." class="edit one">One</a> <a href="..." class="edit two">Two</a> <a href="..." class="edit three">Three</a> and then saying 'a.edit' is much better jQuery-wise Second, if the sole purpose of these <a> objects is to load a form or something, and *not* take the user somewhere (primary purpose of a hyperlink), then advice: don't use a hyperlink for that then On Jun 5, 2:04 pm, "Dave Maharaj :: WidePixels.com" <d...@widepixels.com> wrote: > I have 6 links , each loads a form into its respective div.
