ajax - Best way to pass parameters to jQuery's .load()

Question

Is there a difference in passing parameters to .load

$("#myDiv").load("myScript.php?var=x&var2=y&var3=z")

vs

$("#myDiv").load("myScript.php", {var1:x, var2:y, var3:z})

Also, is there a size limit to how much .load can handle? Can myScript.php return a couple hundred rows of data without issue?

Answer 1

In the first case, the data are passed to the script via GET, in the second via POST.

I don't think there are limits to the data size, but the completition of the remote call will of course take longer with great amount of data.
