Can't get past this question. Use jQuery's html() method to insert the server response into the footer of the page.

Here is my coded answer:

$.get("footer.html", function(response){ $('#footer').load('footer.html'); $('#footer').html(); });

app.js 
$.get("footer.html", function(response){
    $('#footer').load('footer.html');
    $('#footer').html();
});
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 don't need the line calling "load" at all, when this callback runs, the "get" method has already acquired it and stored it in the "response" variable.

And when you called the "html" method, you forgot to pass it response as the argument.
