Thanks but figured it out

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('links_component').eq(0).ready(function()
    {
        $.ajax({
          url: "links_component.php?ACT='GETLINKS'",
          success: function(data) {
            $('#links_component').html(data);
            alert('Load was performed.');
          }
        });
    });
});
