Setting text for external HTML file

Question

I am trying to set text for a div which is located in external html file, but when I give the ID of that div, it is not recognized, what should I do? I load the external HTML file like this:

$('#header').load("resources/html/header.html");

then I try to set "headerTitle" which is inside header.html

$('#headerTitle').text($('#buidlingComboBox :selected').text());

If I give an ID which is inside main HTML file, it works fine.

You probably have to wait until the content is available, and load() has a handy callback for that :

$('#header').load("resources/html/header.html", function() {
    $('#headerTitle').text( $('#buidlingComboBox').val() );  
});
