Here are the descriptions for the Ajax methods: load -- Loads HTML from a remote file ... ajax -- Load a remote page ... get -- Load a remote page... getScript -- Load and execute a local javascript file... post -- Load a remote page...
So, if we want arbitrary HTML we have to use "load", but if we want a whole "page" (where is that defined?) we have to use "ajax", "get" or "post"? The "execute script" function (called getScript for some reason) only works with local "files"? I believe it will work with any URI (local or remote) returning JavaScript (assuming same origin policy of course), and whether it came from a file isn't known to the caller. These functions should describe the type of HTTP request they make, and skip references to "pages" and "files".
