<div class="lead_detail_box_routing">


<div class="lead_detail_box_left">location 1</div>
<div class="lead_detail_box_right">Route</div>
<div class="lead_detail_box_left">location 2</div>
<div class="lead_detail_box_right">Route</div>
<div class="lead_detail_box_left">location 3</div>
<div class="lead_detail_box_right">Route</div>
<div class="lead_detail_box_left">location 4</div>
<div class="lead_detail_box_right">Route</div>

<div id="results" style="text-align:center;"></div>  

</div>     <!-- end lead_detail and routing-->  

e.g. when user clicks on "route" I want my jquery-manual-routing.php to get the "3" ..

so far I have:

   <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("a#route").click(function() {
            $("#results").load( "jquery-manual-routing.php", { route_to: ???? } );
            return false;
        });
    });    
    </script> 

so in my php script, when the user clicks on route next to location 3 I want to be able to grab $_GET['route_to'] =3;

Also note that my table already has the class assigned since I am using css to style it

The answer will be pure php echo
