Solution

I think what you want to do is this.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"><\script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showGetResult( name )
{
     jQuery.ajax({
        url: 'http://localhost/index.php',
        type: 'get',
        dataType: 'text/html',
        success:function(data)
        {
            alert(data);
            document.write(data);
        } 
     });
}

showGetResult('test');
</script>
