How to pass Accept header in jQuery .load() function

Question

How to pass Accept header in jQuery .load() function as It need to be passed.

Answer 1

You need to utilize the beforeSend parameter in the ajax method, since load does not expose this functionality:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://www.server.com/",
    beforeSend: function(jqXHR, settings) {
        jqXHR.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    },
    // You need to manually do the equivalent of "load" here
    success: function(result) {
        $("selector").html(result);
    }
});
