$('#id).load() doesn't execute callback if selector matches an empty set

Description
Discovered this due to a typo in my code. Consider
$('#id).load('stuff.html', {}, callback);
If there is no element named 'id' on the page, load -does- run, and firebug does assure me that stuff.html is requested

The OP didn't reply, but I think the only issue here is whether the ajax should happen if no elements are selected, but never call the callback. We should document it either way.

That's understandable, since the docs for .load say the callback is called this way:
function (responseText, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) { this; // dom element }If there are no elements in the jQuery object, the function can't be called because the
can't be given a value!So are you requesting that if no elements are selected the ajax shouldn't happen at all? Or some other behavior?
