Using jQuery to select div with id of 'footer'...?

I thought this was the correct way to select an element by id using jQuery...?

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

Yes, you got that part right. :+1:

But you're missing the closing parenthesis to end the "$.get" call (between the closing brace and the semicolon).
