// JQUERY AJAX FUNCTIONALITY
// Added by Jason Larsen
// 06 May 2010

// adds .ajax and .ajax_node classes
// .ajax will load any page via ajax
// .ajax_node will load the drupal node at the specified href (loads only content)
//
// to implement, simply give the desired element the class of either ajax, or ajax_node,
// and include a href tag with the desired URL
//
// EX: <a class="ajax_node" href="/technology">AJAX Action!</a></p>
$(document).ready(function() {
	// AJAX functionality for drupal nodes
	$(".ajax_node").click(function() {
		var ajax_src = $(this).attr("href"); // we're gonna load the href

		// empty target div and load in content
		// the space in the string before the #id is necessary
		$("#ajax_area").empty().load(ajax_src + " #ajax_wrapper");
		return false; // stops the link from following through
	});
	
	// General AJAX fucntionality
	$(".ajax").click(function() {
		var ajax_src = $(this).attr("href");
		$("#ajax_area").empty().load(ajax_src);
		return false;
	});
