I really need some help, I know it's correct but it doesn't want to work.
$('#footer').load(footer.html);
$('#footer').load('footer.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>

Treehouse TeacherSimon Coates is correct. However, it's important to note that only the second line will be accepted by the challenge. If you do not delete the first line, the challenge will fail even though the second line is correct.

9,577 PointsCould you actually explain why the same piece of code is used twice? Thank you in advance
Simon Coates
28,694 Pointsyou've lost me. I think one of us may have our wires crossed. the code should only be used the once.

Treehouse TeacherYou don't really. The first step (and I encourage you to try this by relaunching the challenge with the button at the top of this page) only requires you to enter this:
$('#footer');
In the second challenge you were just supposed to add the .load method onto the code that you already had
