I think that by default in IIS, .html filetypes will not accept POSTs. load() in jQuery is GET by default but if you put something in the data parameter, it will a be converted to a POST. Do you think that's what's happening? Unless your .html file has be configured to do server-side processing, I don't think it's necessary to POST data to a .html file.
