You have the anonymous function figured out, so now we just need to write a line of jQuery inside of the function that will select the footer.
I like to open functions up for readability -
$.get("footer.html", function(response){
// jQuery footer selection will go here
});
Since we know the footer div has an ID of "footer", we just select it using jQuery -
$('#footer');
Writing this line inside of the anonymous function should work. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask questions if you have any.
