Description

++ Syntactical Sugar to load content into a DOM element

-- no SS to alter ajaxOptions at runtime

$( sel ).load( url );

++ SS to alter ajaxOptions at runtime

-- no SS to load content into a DOM element

$.ajax( [ajaxOptions] );

// the marriage

$( sel ).ajax( [ajaxOptions] );

I've written this is a custom plugin, but it seems like something that is simply missing from the AJAX API.

Sorry about the formatting, here's a better version:

// ++ Syntactical Sugar to load content into a DOM element 
// -- no SS to alter ajaxOptions at runtime 
$( sel ).load( url );

// ++ SS to alter ajaxOptions at runtime 
// -- no SS to load content into a DOM element 
$.ajax( [ajaxOptions] );

// the marriage 
$( sel ).ajax( [ajaxOptions] );

In cases such as this we simply recommend that you use $.ajax() directly. We try to keep the load/get/post methods nice and simple for the common case.
