Question

I need to know how to use jQuery’s “load” AJAX function to get the wanted data in a variable?
Should look like this in the end:
var data = “->load data<-“;

Thanks!

The load method is there to directly append the data to a jQuery element. Instead you could use jQuery.get or jQuery.post to issue a GET or POST request. Eg.

$.get("url.to/load/from", { param: "Hello" }, function(data){
    var loadedData = data;
});
