如何使用jquery load（）将内容加载到现有div而不删除div现有内容

Question

I want to load the contents of a php file to an already existing div. I tried the following code, but I am getting the error load is not defined in firebug. Can some one help me?

 $("#post_button").click(function(){
    var result = load("<?php echo SITEURL; ?>/newpost.php", data);
    $("#parent-post").append(result, function() {
    special_functions();
 });

$.load() is a convenience method of $.ajax() and by default replaces html of the selector. For more flxibility use another method like $.get that gives you access to return data and doesn't manipulate the DOM. You can then append instead of replace

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/

$("#post_button").click(function(){
    $.get("<?php echo SITEURL; ?>/newpost.php", data, function( returnData){/* assuming your data var is data to send to server*/
            $("#parent-post").append(returnData);
            special_functions();                                                   

    });

 });
