Best way to pass parameters to jQuery's .load()

Question

Is there a difference in passing parameters to .load

$(\"#myDiv\").load(\"myScript.php?var=x&var2=y&var3=z\")

vs

Answer 1

In the first case, the data are passed to the script via GET, in the second via POST.

I don't think there are limits to the data size, but the completition of the remote call will of course take longer with great amount of data.

Answer 2

As Davide Gualano has been told. This one

$("#myDiv").load("myScript.php?var=x&var2=y&var3=z")

use GET method for sending the request, and this one

$("#myDiv").load("myScript.php", {var:x, var2:y, var3:z})

use POST method for sending the request. But any limitation that is applied to each method (post/get) is applied to the alternative usages that has been mentioned in the question.

For example: url length limits the amount of sending data in GET method.
