ajax load()和$get,jquery - Difference between $.ajax() and $.get() and $.load() - Stack Overflow

Everyone has it right. Functions .load, .get, and .post, are different ways of using the function .ajax.

Personally, I find the .ajax raw function very confusing, and prefer to use load, get, or post as I need it.

POST has the following structure:

$.post(target, post_data, function(response) { });

GET has the following:

$.get(target, post_data, function(response) { });

LOAD has the following:

$(*selector*).load(target, post_data, function(response) { });

As you can see, there are little differences between them, because its the situation that determines which one to use. Need to send the info to a file internally? Use .post (this would be most of the cases). Need to send the info in such a way that you could provide a link to the specific moment? Use .get. Both of them allow a callback where you can handle the response of the files.

An important note is that .load acts in two different manners. If you only provide the url of the target document, it will act as a get (and I say act because I tested checking for $_POST in the called PHP while using default .load behaviour and it detects $_POST, not $_GET; maybe it would be more precise to say it acts as .post without any arguments); however, as http://api.jquery.com/load/ says, once you provide an array of arguments to the function, it will POST the information to the file. Whatever the case is, .load function will directly insert the information into a DOM element, which in MANY cases is very legible, and very direct; but still provides a callback if you want to do something more with the response. Additionally, .load allows you to extract a certain block of code from a file, giving you the possibility to save a catalog, for example, in a html file, and retrieve pieces of it (items) directly into DOM elements.
