sending a jquery value via .load

[droidus]

How do I send a jquery value via .load? Here is what I have:

$("#formLoad").load("functions.php?cmd=3&statusUpdate=status.val()");

Try this:

$("#formLoad").load("functions.php?cmd=3&statusUpdate=" + status.val() );

JS doesn't evaluate expressions inside quotes. The + operator can be used to concatenate strings.
