While trying out jQuery, I have a question that is probably a newbie mistake, but I cannot seem to find the solution. This is the code:
$.get("index.html", function() {
    var i = 0;
    for (; i < 3; i++)
    {
        var lDiv = document.createElement('div');
        lDiv.id = 'body-' + i;
        document.getElementById('body').appendChild(lDiv);
        $.get('index.html', function(data) {
            lDiv.innerHTML = "<p>Hello World " + i + "</p>";
        });
    }
});
The output seems to be
<div id='body-0'></div>
<div id='body-1'></div>
<div id='body-2'>
    <p>Hello World 3</p>
</div>
I expected the lDiv.innerHTML= code to be executed for each i, but apparently it is only executed for the last i? What am I overlooking?
