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

I think you are missing a / from the request AND you do NOT need to name your function. That is an anonymus function which is placed inline, so there is no need for a name.

You can also use a second function parameter which handles the errors:

$.get("/footer.html", function(response){$('#footer').html(response);}, function(errorMessage) { console.log(errorMessage);});
