jQuery - selectors on a html string

Question

I am going to get a element from a html-string with jQuery, but I always get an undefined in my console. My String is:

asd         


        

Answer 1

I have a response that is of the form:

...


...


...

And @minitech 's method resulted in an array of HTML nodes in which the selector didn't work.

So I tried this and it worked out nice:

$.ajax({
    url:
    success: function($data) {
         var $parsed_data = $('
').append($data);
         var found = $parsed_data.find(".Selector");
         ...
    }
});
