But if you notice, the docs indicate there is more than one load
function. The one you're quoting is a bind for the load "event".
You're invoking a load action directly for which the docs say:
Load HTML from a remote file and inject it into the DOM.

It loads the file into the jQuery selection. For example:
$('#target').load('somefile.html')
will load somefile.html into #target and
$('.targets').load('somefile.html')
will load somefile.html into all of the elements with class attribute
of 'targets'.
If you're trying to attach this behavior to a button click then you
might consider something like this:
$('#myButton').click(function() {
$('#myTarget').load('myfile.html' function() {
alert('my callback');
});
});
The above says: when myButton is clicked, load myfile.html into
myTarget and alert me when it's done.
Hope this helps.
