Is there a way to have a simple refresh of an element?

I'm trying to refresh an element in my page upon a click of a button. Basically, I just need a div to just pull the same HTML it pulled when I first came to the page. Nothing with Ajax callbacks.

How can I do this?

$('#button').live('click',function(开发者_开发知识库) {
    //refresh #div  
});

well on load you can do:

$('div').each(function(){
   $(this).data('orig_html',this.innerHTML);
})

and then in ur refresh:

$('#button').live('click',function() {
    $('div').each(function(){
       $(this).html($(this).data('orig_html'));
    }) 
});

here is the manual on jQuery data()

fiddle showing you is here: http://jsfiddle.net/maniator/wSqnM/

$('#button').click( function(){
     $("#yourDiv").load("page_url");
});

Check out the documentation http://api.jquery.com/load/ about the load function.
I think this is simpler and what you might be looking for.

Hope that helps
