I'm sorry Ray, I'm just not getting it.
Just to make sure we understand each other:
I want to prevent the page from reloading so that after the submit button on the getDircections form is clicked the information is loaded into the wagmp_directions_1 div without the whole page having to reload. I am not interested in a separate info window opening up. The function your example code came out of (see below) doesn't look like it'll do what I want. And the buyFTANow.com page you referred me to doesn't have a form to get directions anyways, which is confusing to me and why I don't think we are talking about the same thing. Would you mind have another go at an explanation for me?
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time!
Jules
