Am trying to refresh data stored in a div every 10 seconds using jQuery.

My HTML code is:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>



<script src=http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js></script>



<script>

    $(document).ready(function(){

        setInterval(function() {

            $(#latestData).load(getLatestData.php #latestData);

        }, 10000);

    });



</script>

</head>



<body>

    <div id = latestData>



    </div>

</body>

</html>

And the PHP code I am using (temporarily as I know this won't change due to the same data):

<?php



    echo test;



?>

However, it isn't even showing test on the html page.. could anyone suggest where I have gone wrong?

Many thanks

jQuery load method works in a different way. Try reading its documentation.

You don't have to specify destination element ID twice, remove the second one, like this:

$(#latestData).load(getLatestData.php);
