<title>page 1 test</title>
<script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

     console.log ()
});
});
</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="">
<input id="thisandthat" name="test but" type="button" value="Button" />
<div id="hide" style="background-color:#050; width:100; height:100;">this and other things</div>
</div>
<div id="cont">
</div>
</body>
</html>

Page2

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>page 1 test</title>
<script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#thisand').click(function() {
    $("#unhide").toggle('fast');
    alert ('im in')
});
});
</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="res">
<input id="thisand" name="test but" type="button" value="Button" />
<div id="unhide" hidden="" style="background-color:#09F; width:100; height:100;">i     apppear</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>

as you can see, javascript needed from page2 is present on page1. Please help.

Solution

The problem is that you're using the id selector in your $("#cont").load('testpage2.html #res')

jQuery will only load that section of page 2, therefore no Javascript is loaded. If you remove the id selector it will load the whole page including the Javascript.

$("#cont").load('testpage2.html')

Alternatively, you can place your Javascript within the res div, then that should work.

On a side note, you're missing various line ending semi colons in your code, which is not good.
