.load() multiple link addresses into one div

Question

I have a really long block of code below, I am loading text into a div while hovering over another div, I want to load a bunch of different links into the same div, I have two problems

1) I know there is a better way to write this code, using an array - I need to learn how to write arrays.

2) I need the animations to stop if the mouse is moving fast, and not keep loading the #id's for a long time if you scribble your mouse over all the links

does that make sense??

Behold.

$(function() {
    var urls = [
        'http://iamwhitebox.com/staging/arkitek/includes/work-info.inc #cadherins_',
        'http://iamwhitebox.com/staging/arkitek/includes/work-info.inc #ascent_',
        ..etc..
    ];
    for(var i=0;i<urls.length;i++){
        var index = i+1;
        $(".cell_"+index+" a").live('mouseover', function(){
            $('#gridInfo').fadeIn(100).load(urls[i]);
        });
        $(".cell_"+index+" a").live('mouseout', function(){
            $('#gridInfo').fadeOut(100);
        });
    }
});

watch out, mouseover will trigger hundreds of events! (so maaany ajax calls!) – Edgar Villegas Alvarado May 05 '11 at 06:30
not getting a result yet here.. thank you so much for your help in advance!! This is a big step for me to learn and will help me ttons – Jeff Voss May 05 '11 at 06:37
I can see the code is effecting my gridInfo div but is failing to actually load the content – Jeff Voss May 05 '11 at 06:40
try it as 2 lines. seperate the fadein and the load – ricick May 05 '11 at 06:41
still nothing, the opacity of my div is cranking on and off, but no 'load' – Jeff Voss May 05 '11 at 06:45
ok turn off the opacity change. this will help you isolate the bug. going to the urls in the example i get a 404. are they correct – ricick May 05 '11 at 06:46
its just a page with a unordered list and the id tags point to different anchors – Jeff Voss May 05 '11 at 06:49
that link is different to the ones you provided. also you have a space before the # in the original links – ricick May 05 '11 at 07:47

To avoid code repetition, i'd do this:

var urls = [
 'http://iamwhitebox.com/staging/arkitek/includes/work-info.inc #cadherins_',
 'http://iamwhitebox.com/staging/arkitek/includes/work-info.inc #ascent_',
 ...
];

$(document).ready(function() {    
    for(var i=0; i< urls.length; i++){
        $(".cell_"+(i+1)+" a").hover(function(){
            $('#gridInfo').fadeIn(100).load(urls[i]);
        }, function(){
            $('#gridInfo').fadeOut(100);
        });
    }
});
