Working with jQuery & Ajax

I know this is simple, but for some reason, I'm not able to process simple right now. I'm sorry if this is a duplicate question. I'm trying to dynamically change text in a website using just a text file, I know AJAX can pull text from a .txt file, but I've never done it before, I've only used xml files. So my question is, how do I pull in the data from the text file and have it formatted correctly? I'm correctly connecting to the file, but I am drawing a blank for some reason and it's not displaying the text on the page. Again, I know this is simple, but I, for some reason, am not able to process this today. Please help. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:

JavaScript/AJAX

$(document).ready(function(){
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        dataType: "text",
        url: "text.txt",
        success: function(txt){
            console.log("Working");
        }
    });
})

Text

Hi

Again, I know this is very simple to do, I'm just not registering anything right now. So please, an outside look would help and probably jump start me. Thanks.

find is looking throw children. If text.txt was <div> <p>Hi</p> </div>, it would work correct
