Load text from specific external DIV using AJAX?
- by Josh
I'm trying to load up the estimated world population from http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html using AJAX, and so far, failing miserably.
There's a DIV with the ID "worldnumber" on that page which contains the estimated population, so that's the only text I want to grab from the page.
Here's what I've tried:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#population").load('http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html #worldnumber *');
});
