Navigate a rootless dom with JQuery

Question

Given this html string:

var string = \"
\";

I create a jQuery object with it:

var dom          


        

Answer 1

.find looks inside of the element. In your case though you're creating a div and a paragraph next to one another. Move the paragraph inside the div and your code will work.

Or you can wrap both of those elements into a third, parent.

var string = "
";

var dom = $(string);

console.log(dom.find("p"));
