9,437 PointsI don't know what I'm doing wrong (AJAX callback/get method).
I keep getting the following error message :"jQuery's html() method isn't in your script. To use it, add a period to a jQuery object, like this: $('#footer').html();". What am I doing wrong?
$.get("footer.html", function(response){
$('#ajax').html(response);
$('#footer').select;
$('#footer').html(response);
});
<!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>

And I don't think the second line is actually a valid jQuery statement. Just remove those and you should pass the challenge.
In general, you'll get the best results from the challenges by following the instructions and not doing anything "extra".

9,437 PointsIt worked. Thanks!
I had the extra code because it was part 3 of the challenge. Usually, it says to add to the existing code. It seemed superfluous to me as well.

231,275 PointsGlad I could help. And it's possible you may have misunderstood some part of the instructions. After following all 3 task instructions and not removing anything, the function body should have only one line.
