I've searched to no avail.. I guess my question is a bit unique. I have a DIV with some content in it, that content get's brought in currently by passing the object of a SQL query into the template. That works fine, but doesn't allow me to update the content every x seconds, without refreshing the entire page. Something I don't want to do. So I wanted to know I could force JQuery to reload my DIV element? Would this also reload the code in it? Because that would force my div to update.. Here is the code.

<div id=content1> {{ set content = get_content(parm1, parm2) }} # This is a custom Jinja2 function I wrote to pull the content I need one in the template, but it only runs once. {% for row in content %} .. do stuff {% endfor %} </div>

Is it possible to get JQuery to just reload that DIV with the code that is already there? If so that should fix my issue. I have thought about trying to create a call to get the content in JSON but IF possible would rather not.

This is what I kind of ended up going with.. but a bit different.. My question is.. what is you only had $('div').load(); Would that just load the content that is in the DIV currently?
Yep, $('div').load(); load content in the div without reload the rest of the page.
