Hello, about an ajax shorthand methods. In this video, i get confuse of this
$.get("sidebar.html", function(response){
$('#ajax').html(response);
})
The argument 'response', what it doing in the function? Is it the response for the 'sidebar.html'?
Thanks for anyone who try to explain.

$.get("sidebar.html", function(response){
console.log(response);
});

3,795 PointsHi I would like to add something to the question.
With what Leo said, if I use the load method -> $('#ajax').load('sidebar.html'); how will i get the response variable? Is is safe to say that I should only use load() if I want to insert html content to the selected ID and use the $.get() to do more like create a custom function (callback) and other stuff ?
