Answer 1

The simplest solution and support all browsers is:

var div = '
';
var parser = new DOMParser();
var myDiv = parser.parseFromString( html, "text/xml" );

Another solution may be:

var div = '
';
var tmpDiv = document.createElement('div');
    tmpDiv.innerHTML = div;

    elDiv = tmpDiv.childNodes[0]; //Now it can be used as an element
