Loading html file from href into div won't work with jquery .load

Question

I cant seem to load any of my files in the href part of the dropdown menu. I am trying to load the files dynamically in the .where-you-tune class. I don't know what I am doing wrong because I keep getting

(index):81 Uncaught TypeError: $(...).load is not a function

I have excluded some of the bootstrap code because it is not necessary

The code you've shown includes 2 versions of jQuery. They are conflicting, and causing your jQuery not to work at all.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-KJ3o2DKtIkvYIK3UENzmM7KCkRr/rE9/Qpg6aAZGJwFDMVNA/GpGFF93hXpG5KkN" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

The jQuery slim distribution is an alternative, not something to be used as well as the main distro.

Remove one of them, and your code works fine - I've verified this locally.
