Parsing returned HTML from jQuery AJAX request

Question

What I\'m trying to do seems simple: get an HTML page through $.ajax() and pull out a value from it.

$(function () {
    $.ajax({
             


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and i fixed encapsulating requested html code into just one container element.

Bad Example:

Linkname
Hello world

Jquery couldnt convert this to element, because it wishes to convert a single element tree. But those are not having a container. Following example should work:

Right Example:

    Linkname
    
Hello world
