Answer 1

I had the same problem after receiving an AJAX HTML-Request with the function jQuery.ajax() and then trying to parse the result with jQuery( html_result_data ). The solution was to strip the header and all tabs and "returns" in the html_result_data like this:

success: function( data ) {
   // God this is ugly
   data = data.split("")[1].split("")[0];
   data = data.split("\t").join("").split("\r").join("").split("\n").join("");                      
   data = jQuery( data );
   ...
}
