jquery append external html file into my page

Question

I'm trying to append an external html content (div plus some text inside just for testing) this way:

$.get("banner.html", function(data){
    $(this).children("div:first").append(data);
});

That seems to be pretty simple... but it does not seem to work. Any idea? Thanks!

Use html instead of append:

$.get("banner.html", function(data){
    $(this).children("div:first").html(data);
});
