    Hi,
    I have 3 basic components: A button called ‘Load’, a div called ‘articles’ and a textarea called ‘Editor’.

    I want to be able to push the button which will populate the div with available files (this presently works) and then I want to select a file from the div filelist, get it’s contents from the server and put it in the test area (having trouble with this).

    I presently have this:
    jQuery Code:

        $('#load').click(function() {
    //alert ("Clicked!!");
    $("#headlinearticles").load("ajax/filelist.php");
    return false;
    });

    The server side code:

    $output = "";
    if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
    while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
    if (is_file($file)) {
    $info = pathinfo($file);
    $fileName = basename($file, '.'.$info);
    $output .= "".$fileName."
    ";
    }
    }
    } else {
    $output .= "Can not open directory";
    }

    echo $output;

    What needs to be done so that I can select a file in the div (that’s been dynamically generated) to fill the Editor?

    Thanks,
    Kevin
