I have tried numerous methods to update that div, but I can not seem to get it to work. For example: $("div#result_div").html("My text is changed!"); $("#result_div").html("My text is changed!"); document.getElementById('result_div').innerHTML = 'My Text is changed!'; I've tried changing it from a div to a span with the same results. If I move the div outside of the table/form the text update works perfectly, so I'm fairly certain my code is being excuted correctly. Any help would be apperciated. Thanks. edit: I realized this is inside of a Jquery-ui dialog box, I'm sorry for ommiting that piece of information orginally.
