 * I currently have code in my header to show an image show in a specific div when
   clicked. What I would like to do, is have the content show in another div. I 
   managed to get the content to show (outside php), but was wondering if there 
   was a way to get the content from that post to show. The code is below and in
   script tags. Any advice?
 * ‘$(document).ready(function() {
    $(“img”).click(function () { if ($(this).hasClass(“
   profiles”)) { $(‘#student_area’).empty() var img = $(‘<img />’).attr({ ‘src’:
   $(this).attr(‘src’), ‘alt’: $(this).attr(‘alt’) }).appendTo($(‘#student_area’));
   $(“div.student_desc”).empty() var div = $(‘<div><?php get_the_content (); ?>This
   is the content</div>’).attr({ ‘alt’: $(this).attr(‘alt’) }).appendTo($(‘div.student_desc’));}});});’

 * Try replacing ‘$’ with ‘jQuery’. I think wordpress reserves $ for something else.

 * Which ‘$’? The script works, just the <?php get_the_content (); ?> doesnt.

 * I don’t think get_the_content returns the info. I think the_content does. If 
   you use get_the_content you need to store it in a variable or something.

 * It still didn’t work with the_content. I wonder if the way I have the code, its
   trying to print the content from the image itself and not the post.

 * Is your code inside the loop?
