Explanation

The jQuery code is written inside head section. For using jQuery library we have to include it on our page. I have done this by providing the source of library in <script src=””></script> tag.

When we click on Show button, the get() function handles AJAX GET request and fetch data from server. Its first argument is the url of the page from where data is to be fetched. In second argument another function is called, the information fetched from server is stored in data. Finally we are writing the data in h2 tag using html() function.
