JavaScript AJAX Basics (retiring) jQuery and AJAX Using jQuery's $.get() AJAX method

AJAX Basics: $.get("filename.html");

The challenge states:

The first argument to the $.get() method is a URL to a resource. In this case you want to load the 'footer.html' file, so pass that as the argument.

I have tried: $.get("footer.html"); and $("#footer").load("footer.html");

Unfortunately, both do not work for this challenge. I am missing something but I do not know what it is.

app.js 
$.get("app.js");
$.get("footer.html");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>AJAX with JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
    <h1>AJAX with jQuery</h1>
  </div>
  <div id="footer"></div>
  <script src="jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Its a bit confusing be the challenge is asking you to get footer.html. so you would replace your app.js with footer.html to pass the second task

$.get('footer.html');

Once I deleted the first part of the challenge: "$.get('app.js'); and only left "$.get('footer.html');" on the screen, it passed.
