jquery - Ajax - How refresh <DIV> after submit

Question

How can I refresh just part of the page ("DIV") after my application releases a submit? I'm use JQuery with plugin ajaxForm. I set my target with "divResult", but the page repeat your content inside the "divResult". Sources:

   <script>      
       $(document).ready(function() {      
           $("#formSearch").submit(function() {      
                var options = {    
                  target:"#divResult",
                  url: "http://localhost:8081/sniper/estabelecimento/pesquisar.action"  
                }      
               $(this).ajaxSubmit(options);      
               return false;      
          });      
      })
   </script>

Page

 <s:form id="formSearch" theme="simple" class="formulario" method="POST">      
 ...      

 <input id="btTest" type="submit" value="test" >      

 ...      

                 <div id="divResult" class="quadro_conteudo" >      
                     <table id="tableResult" class="tablesorter">      
                         <thead>      
                             <tr>      
                                 <th style="text-align:center;">      
                                     <input id="checkTodos" type="checkbox" title="Marca/Desmarcar todos" />

To solve this using jquery I would try this;

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#formSearch").submit(function() {
        var options = {
            /* target:"#divResult", */

            success: function(html) {
                $("#divResult").replaceWith($('#divResult', $(html)));
            },

            url: "http://localhost:8081/sniper/estabelecimento/pesquisar.action"
        }

        $(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
        return false;
    });
});

alternatively, you could get the server to return just the html that needs to be inserted into the div rather than the rest of the html document.

I don't really know the TableSorter plugin but I do know that you will need to reinitialize your TableSorter plugin each time you reload the element. so add a line to your success function that targets your table such as

success: function(html) {
    var resultDiv = $("#divResult").replaceWith($('#divResult',     $(html)));

    $('table.tablesorter', resultDiv).TableSorter();
}
