This is what the documentation says:

    "Load data from the server and place the returned HTML into the
matched element."
    [http://api.jquery.com/load/]

I can't find such an error in my image. I would assume that you get a
"Message Not Underderstood", because JQLoad does not understand
#after: or #replaceWith:.

No, as the JQuery documentation says it *places into the matched element*.

You can however use a custom AJAX function, something along with what
you find in JQAjaxFunctionalTest:

    html submitButton
        onClick: (html jQuery ajax
	     script: [ :s | s << (s jQuery: 'li:last') after: [ :r | ... ]);
	with: 'After'
