Well to my knowledge, the reasons I generally use $.load() is to
inject HTML dynamically into my page. Since you can pass variables in
the $.load() function you're able to do it that way, but I'm not sure
if that's the intended use of that method.
$.get('newsletter_db.php', {email: email, type: type, nom: nom},
function(responseText){
// do whatever you want on a successful ajax request
});
What problems were you encountering with the $.get() and $.post()
methods? There's also the $.ajax() method which you could use as such:
$.ajax({
url: 'newsletter_db.php',
type: 'GET', // or 'POST'
data: {email: email, type: type, nom: nom},
success: function(responseText){
// on success callback
},
error: function(responseText){
// on error callback
}
});
