load method

[kof13]

Docu says if any parameter is added - type will be "POST" otherwise it is "GET".

But if the parameter is a serialised string, it sends always "GET". Only if the parameter is json object it works properly.

It does seem like there's a difference between the docs and the actual behavior.

[kof13]

"A GET request will be performed by default - but if you pass in any extra parameters then a POST will occur."

$('#output').load('jquery.php','param=123');

This call will be done as a GET, in spite of a parameter. So either is the doc not 100% correct or its a bug.

According to the test suite the expected behavior when passing a string is to use GET. The docs need to be updated as such.
