jquery.load with div as variable

Question

I would like to use jQuery's load function.

I can write:

$('#somediv').load('somefile.html #aSpecificDivinThatPage');

Now I would like to have a variable as the source div in the html page, how do I write that out?

You can just use normal string concatentation:

var div = '#aSpecificDivinThatPage';
$('#somediv').load('somefile.html ' + div);

You mean you want to copy the html from the source div and put it into another div?

$("#destinationDiv").html($("#sourceDiv").html());

the content of the filling for the div is in another html page... i can include it on the same page, but that not the question!
