Re: [jQuery] Another "Why doesn't this work in IE"

Then I'd say you ought to try making the load the callback of the post
and see if that works, something along the lines of:

$("#TOAppr").live("click", function() {
                $.post("webapps/hr/admin/actions/act_adminHR_handler.cfm", {
                                desc: $(this).attr('desc'),
                                pk: $(this).attr('pk')
                        },
                        function() {
                                
$("#content-box").load("webapps/hr/admin/display/dsp_timeOffApprove.cfm?dept="+dept+"&ap=1");
                        });
                return false;
        });
