title: Cannot load HTML in a div that was ajax'd in
body: <p>Good afternoon, I am at a total loss on why this is happening.  I have searched online and tried to understand what I'm doing wrong for 5+ hours and could find no solution.  Here is the situation.</p>
  
  <p>I have 3 pages (index.html, index.js, and stuff.html)
  index.html is the main page and uses jQuery to load an HTML page into a div.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="index.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
    &lt;div id="stuffHolder"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;script type="text.javascript"&gt;
      $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#stuffHolder').load('stuff.html');
      });
    &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The stuff.html page loads just fine for me.</p>
  
  <p>Inside the stuff.html I have 2 div's
  1. One of the DIV's uses sprites as anchor tags to call a function named actOnStuff(options).  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="myStuff"&gt;&lt;a class="myStuffSprite" href="Javascript:actOnStuff('newStuff')"&gt;&lt;span&gt;New Stuff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div id="yourStuff"&gt;&lt;a class="yourStuffSprite" href="Javascript:actOnStuff('oldStuff')"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Old Stuff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The other DIV is empty but will have innerHTML written to it later.
  </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Inside index.js, which sits on the index.html page, I have a function</p>
  
  <pre><code>function actOnStuff(youSelected){
    strHTML = "";
    switch(youSelected){
      case "newStuff":
        strHTML += "&lt;div id='newDIV'&gt;&lt;span&gt;You selected New&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;";
        break;
      case "oldStuff":
        strHTML += "&lt;div id='oldDIV'&gt;&lt;span&gt;You selected Old&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;";
        break;
    }
    $('#placement').html(strHTML);
    alert($('#placement').html());
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My problem is that when I alert the innerHTML of the placement DIV it shows that the necessary DIV from the function as added in the alert.  HOWEVER, nothing shows up in the placement DIV at all.</p>
  
  <p>Any help you can provide would be wonderful as I am at a total loss as to what the problem is.  Thanks in advance.</p>
