jquery load() and append

Question

silly quick question:

I have my:

$('#result').load('ajax/test.html'); 

but what if I don't want to insert my loaded content into #result, but prepend it to #result, maintaining all precedent elements? Is it possible to create a variable, load it with content and then append or prepend it to my #result? I imagine some other scenarios where with my brand new variable I can manipulate it before inserting it into the DOM.

Answer 1

You mean something like this?

var content; $.get('ajax/test.html', function(data){     content= data;     $('#result').prepend(content); }); 

That saves your loaded content into a variable first and you can manipulate it however you want.
