<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("button").click(function(){
    $.get("ajax.txt", function(data, status){
        document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 
           "Data: " + data + "<br/>Status: " + status;
    });
  });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<p id="demo"></p>
<button>Send an HTTP GET request to a page and get the result back</button>

</body>
</html>

The $.get() method loads data from the server using a HTTP GET request.

$.get(URL,data,function(data,status,xhr),dataType)

Parameter	Optional	Description
URL	Required.	the URL to request
data	Optional.	data to send to server along with the request
function(data,status,xhr)	Optional.	a function to run if the request succeeds Additional parameters: data - the resulting data from the request status - the status of the request "success", `"notmodified"`, "error", "timeout", or `"parsererror"` xhr - the XMLHttpRequest object
dataType	Optional.	the data type expected of the server response. By default jQuery performs an automatic guess. Possible types: "xml" - An XML document "html" - HTML as plain text "text" - A plain text string "script" - Runs the response as JavaScript, and returns it as plain text "json" - Runs the response as JSON, and returns a JavaScript object "jsonp" - Loads in a JSON block using JSONP.

The following list some examples:

//Request "test.php", 
//ignore return results:
$.get("test.php");

//Request "test.php" 
//send some additional data along with the request 
//ignore return results:
$.get("test.php", { name:"CSS", town:"java2s.com" });

//Request "test.php" 
//pass arrays of data to the server 
//ignore return results:
$.get("test.php", { 'colors[]' : ["Red","Green","Blue"] });

//Request "test.php" 
//alert the result of the request:
$.get("test.php", function(data){   alert("Data: " + data); });
