JQuery get request help

[Marshmallows]

I have created a python script that gets and returns the size of files with given start&end date params. I have written function for a check box that when clicked it displays a hidden field. In this hidden field I would like the size of the files to be displayed. I have attempted to write a get function in order to run the function on click, but nothing.

I understand that I have to use AJAX, but I have little to no knowledge on this and very little on JavaScript.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

$('#hidden').hide(); 
            $('#getfiles').click(function() {
                if(this.checked) {
                    $('#hidden').show({
                        $.get('views/ajax', function(getSize) {
                            $('#hidden').click(getSize)
                });
                } else {
                    $('#hidden').hide();
                }   
           });
