This one calls the .load() immediately.

This one waits to call .load() until the DOM is loaded. This is shorthand
syntax for
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
...
});
which says "call this function I provide as soon the document/DOM is ready".
This guarantees that your element #div1 is available for selecting and
manipulation. So the difference depends on where your function load() is
being called. If it's called after the page is loaded (say, by a button
click) there will be no difference. If it's called during the page load
(say, in the head) you'll want the latter. For more info see
