Get PHP file using Javascript/JQuery

Question

I need to use javascript or jquery to get a html or php file and put its contents inside a div of the current page.

I know how to do this using ajax but would like to know if there is a simpler way without having to use all the code that ajax uses.

What "all the code"? An AJAX call with jquery is all of one line of code with about 3 or 4 arguments chained together. — Marc B

I think you are looking for jQuery's $.load.

$('#div_id').load('url');

if <div id='mydiv'></div> is your target:

$('#mydiv').load('/address/to/page');

Should do the trick.
