Django jquery .load function

Question

I am trying to load a django url into a div using the jquery .load() function and no content is appearing in the div. I am pretty sure it is not loading at all because if I use firebug it shows no content.

Here is the load function being called:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#create").click(function(){
        $("#popupContact").load("/cookbook/createrecipe");
    });
});

here is my template:

//snip
    <div id="popupContact" class="popup">
        <a id="popupContactClose" style="cursor:pointer;float:right;">x</a>                        
    </div>
    <div id="backgroundPopup">
    </div>  
//snip

here is the element with create id:

{% block footer %}
        <div id="create" style="cursor:pointer" >Create New Recipe</div>
{% endblock %}

The link /coookbook/createrecipe worked fine when it was being used in "a" link tag but when I tried to switch over to loading content it would no longer work

Thanks for any help

What HTTP status doest FireBug show for ajax response? There can be a problem with CSRF verifying, but I'm not sure. — Pavel Strakhov

Have you set a breakpoint in the jQuery code? Is it being reached? — Peter Rowell
