Parsing of html string using jquery

Question

I am trying to parse this html through jQuery to get data1, data2, data3. While I do get data2 and data3 I am unable to get data3 with my approach. I am fairly new to jQuery

Answer 1

I don't know any other way than placing the HTML in an temporary invisible container.

$(document).ready(function(){
  var datahtml = $("
data1
data2
data3
".replace("\\", ""));
  var tempContainer = $('
'+ datahtml +'
');
  $('body').append(tempContainer);
  alert($(tempContainer).find('.class1').text());
  $(tempContainer).remove();                                                                                                                                                        
});
