Ajax Load Content

[luisthedude]

Im having problems loading content with ajax, the problem its that lets say that I have 2 links on my index.html, one is #page1 and the other one is #games1, well have happens is that if I click on either of them it just loads the same site, even thought both files page1.html and test1.html are different and are located in the server, please take a look at the code below which has a bit of php and ajax.I think the issue might be on line 45 and 46 on the ajax part.

Ajax

var default_content="";

$(document).ready(function(){
	
	checkURL();
	$('ul li a').click(function (e){

			checkURL(this.hash);

	});
	
	//filling in the default content
	default_content = $('#pageContent').html();
	
	
	setInterval("checkURL()",250);
	
});

var lasturl="";

function checkURL(hash)
{
	if(!hash) hash=window.location.hash;
	
	if(hash != lasturl)
	{
		lasturl=hash;
		
		// FIX - if we've used the history buttons to return to the homepage,
		// fill the pageContent with the default_content
		
		if(hash=="")
		$('#pageContent').html(default_content);
		
		else
		loadPage(hash);
	}
}


function loadPage(url)
{
	
	url=url.replace('#page','');
	url=url.replace('#games','');
	
	$('#loading').css('visibility','visible');
	
	$.ajax({
		type: "POST",
		url: "load_page.php",
		data: 'page='+url,
		dataType: "php",
		success: function(msg){
			
			if(parseInt(msg)!=0)
			{
				$('#pageContent').html(msg);
				$('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');
			}
		}
		
	});
	

}

try returning false so that the browser does not navigate away when the link is clicked:

$('ul li a').click(function (e){

			checkURL(this.hash);
          return false;
	});

This did not work, what happens now its that if you lick on a link than the url at the top wont change, for example it will stay as www.test.com

Yes, that was expected. Why is that an issue? Aren't you tracking the last hash in a variable? Meaning, everytime a link with a hash is clicked you are updating lasturl . If later on I click on a different link that has a hash, then you need to compare the hash on the "current link that was just clicked" against what you previously stored in lasturl . IF they match, then don't do an ajax request (since it is already loaded - should be the current loaded page).
