Can anyone advise on an alternative jQuery method or maybe a plug in to the DD Ajax Tabs script, some of my designs don't use the tabs functionality of DD Ajax Tabs, I simply use the container to pull in pages with no tabs, Like this: http://www.myhooligans.com/index.php?t=home_index

I love the Ajax Tabs script but ultimately I would like to cross over to jQuery completely, any suggestions or offers of paid assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

You don't need a plugin for that. You're just looking for regular AJAX functionality (without UI elements). Look into the .ajax() method of jQuery.

Thanks Medyman

Would you be kind enough to show me an example please, for instance with Ajax Tabs I would use a call like this to pull in a target page into a DD Ajax container div from anywhere on the page:

<a href="javascript: containert.loadajaxpage('page.html')">

What would I use for the jQuery .ajax method if I had the container div named <div class="container"></div>

Using id="container" would probably be more ideal, but regardless, it works something like this:

$.ajax({
url: "page.html",
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$(".container").append(html);
}
});

Of course, this goes in <script> tags in the <head> of your document, not inline.
