jQuery load body from external HTML

Question

I\'m using jQuery and trying to load the body from an external HTML file.

It works if I try to load some div:

$(\'body\').load(\'example.h

Answer 1

If you want to load the whole body, $('body').load('example.html'); should be enough.

If not, could you explain why ?

Anyway, the solution provided by Steve is the right one.
