jQuery ajax check URL data

Question

I honestly don't know what this is called or even begin how I search of it.. but is there a way I can use jQuery to get a page and fetch it's contents? Like if go to test.php?act=test and the contents of the page JUST has the words "no"... then have the text update say "no" and if it's "yes" then say "yes".

I hope I worded that correctly... (. _.)

Initially would suggest getting an idea by reading this AJAX Tutorial, then continue by reading jQuery's AJAX documentation. Further readings would be .get() and .post()

Yes.

Ajax calls. You are able to give a url in the same domain as the webpage and get its contents dynamically.

You can use the .load() method in jQuery which will be issuing an AJAX request.
