The load() method replaces the html of the target, so when you load signup.php you are getting rid of the close button and replacing it with the contents of signup.php. If you need it be in that div you can either include it in the output from signup.php or add it in after the load is completed.

1. $(document.getElementById("overlay_div")).load(
2.       "signup.php",
3.       function() {
4.             $("#overlay_div").append("<div id='close'>X</div>");
5.       }
6. );

Depending on how you have your event handler for the close button set you'll probably need to change it to use on() so it works with dynamically added elements.

What do you mean by making the signup page disappear? Do you just want to empty the div? You can do this:

1. $("#overlay_div").html("");
