Insert HTML from a File into the DOM with jQuery

You may have a need to use jQuery to read HTML that you’ve stored in a file and then insert it into the DOM somewhere. Here’s how:

1. Create a file named myfile.html and add some simple HTML

2. In your .js file, include the following code:

if($('#myelement').length == 0) {
    $.get("/" + window.location.pathname.split("/")[1] + "/files/custom/myfile.html", function(data) {
        $(document.body).append(data);
    });
}
