Treehouse TeacherJoshua Harman In the example you are showing, you select the #footer element two times -- you only select it once and then load the external HTML file. Chyno Deluxe's answer is correct.

First we'll select the footer. Second, we'll call the load method and supply it with the footer.html file that was specified in the challenge.
$('#footer').load('footer.html');
Hope this helps.

8,821 PointsThank you!!! it threw me off when the quiz, by default said
" Important: The code you write in each task should be added to the code written in the previous task."
I was seriously discourage because I thought that I had learned it wrong and didn't know what the problem was!
