Cheers, Richard - very useful.
I usually use $.ajax because I return JSON, and, as you say, then I start 'munging' :-) I like the load call (for straight content insert applications) because it's way simpler and easier to read - I was just wondering if there were any performance differences, etc.? Probably not, I suspect - prob, uses the same code... Cheers, Steve On Oct 22, 3:53 am, "Richard D.
