I am confident this test is broken. I am doing it exactly right. Fix it

$('#footer').load();

should work!!

app.js 
$('#footer').load();
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 might not be doing it quite as "exactly right" as you think. :wink:

Task 2 says "Load the contents of the file 'footer.html' using jQuery's load() method.". You've added the "load" method, but you still need to pass the file name to the method as the argument.
