AJAX Challenge?

I'm not fully understanding the final request of this challenge? Am I adding a 3rd argument to my $.get? or adding it to my function?

app.js 
$.get("footer.html", function(data){$("#footer").html(content)});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>AJAX with JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
    <h1>AJAX with jQuery</h1>
  </div>
  <div id="footer"></div>
  <script src="jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

You should add it to the function. You're getting data from footer.html and putting it to #footer div. 

$.get("footer.html", function(data){$("#footer").html(data)});

Yea - I accidentally stumbled across that answer :) I was not reading the challenge very well in that the "data" needed to then be passed to html :)

Thanks!
