ajax-call.js

$.ajaxSetup({cache:false});

$("a.linkContainingUrl").click(function(){
	var post_url = $(this).attr('href');
	var post = $('#post-here'); 
    
	post.html('<img src="../img/ajax-loader.gif" />'); /* shows ajax loader until content is loaded */

	post.load(post_url + ' #pull-this-content'); 
    /* within the #post-here div, this will load in the post url from the a:link being clicked, 
    the #post- is pulling in the div that contains the content we want to bring in, instead of pulling 
    in the entire page. This could easily be anything like, #pull-this-content, it doesn't have to contain the post id */

	return false; // this just tells the browser that the link shouldn't behave like a typical link
});
