xhr.open('GET', 'sidebar.html');

Hi I know that this might not be such a big deal but would it make more sense for xhr.open('GET', 'sidebar.html'); to be placed above our function xhr.onreadystatechange... since our callback function (xhr.onreadystatechange...) is dependent on our xhr.open('GET', 'sidebar.html'); being executed first?
