I want to make an ajax call in jquery which will bring a picture and texts on the side (actually it is a profile picture and little info about that particular person).And have a link underneath that picture.But i dont know what data type to use in $.ajax()?And where do i put the link in html?Also i am mocking the data so i dont know in what file to put the picture and text.Thank you in advance.

If you don’t need to do any special processing, consider using .load, which wraps .ajax and loads HTML into a specified container into your page. Your server side mock script should expose HTML which provides the picture and text, hardcoded, from a database, or what have you.

The below assumes your side area where you want to load these items contains a div with the id of sideContainer.

$("#sideContainer").load("/path/to/mock/as/html/");
