I'm not real familiar with JQuery, but it's my understanding that the
callback called back from the "get()" function takes two parameters,
the first being the data returned from the call, and the second is
always the string "success". Is that correct? What is the point of
always sending the second parameter, if it's always the same value?
In examples on the net, I've never seen anyone define a callback
function for "get()" that defines that second parameter, acknowledging
that there's no point to it.

That does not matter, as jQuery is junk, and off-topic here.

Hello David. You'd be better off asking this question on a jQuery
mailing list:

Evidently: JQuery thinks itself always to be a success.

Most of us in this NG know better.
