jquery .load() page then parse html

Question

I have used the line below in my app. But now I need to parse the html loaded before I show it. Whats the best way to get certain html elements.

$(\"#div\").         


        

Answer 1

You can use the semi-equivalent expanded version of $.get(), like this:

$.get("page.html", function(data) {
  var data = $(data);
  //do something
  $("#div").html(data);
});

Note that calling .html(data) in this case is just a shortcut for .empty().append(data).

Or, if post-processing is an option, just use the .load() callback, like this:

$("#div").load("page.html", function() {
  $(this).find(".class").remove(); //just an example
});
