Load a remote page using an HTTP GET request. This is an easy way to send a simple GET request to a server without having to use the more complex $.ajax function. It allows a single callback function to be specified that will be executed when the request is complete (and only if the response has a successful response code). If you need to have both error and success callbacks, you may want to use $.ajax. The URL of the page to load. (optional) Key/value pairs that will be sent to the server. (optional) A function to be executed whenever the data is loaded successfully. $.get("test.cgi"); $.get("test.cgi", { name: "John", time: "2pm" } );

$.get("test.cgi", function(data){
  alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});

$.get("test.cgi",
  { name: "John", time: "2pm" },
  function(data){
    alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
  }
);
