the .load() method,when params is null, the ajax type will be "POST", but not be "GET"

The .load() method, when params is "null", the ajax type will be "POST", but it should be "GET"? when version 1.7.2, this type is "GET".

This change also would have broken our site, were it not for our automation tests.

Workaround is to remove the null argument, changing calls like this:

$("#box").load(url, null, function() {...});

to this:

$("#box").load(url, function() {...});

Thing change will also break our site and is impractical to use workaround since there are third-party tools that use null as params.

The problem lies in typeof null == "object"

true

But the behaviour of .load used to test for boolean value of params

[jaubourg]

Calling load with null as the data parameter now properly issues a GET request, not a POST request. Unit tests added. Fixes #12234.
