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").load("page.html");
Thanks
UPDATED
Now I am using this but having trouble geting the title attribute of a div with the id "div".
function get_title()
{
$.get("test.html", function(data) {
var data = $(data);
var title = $("#div", data).attr("title");
alert(title);
});
}
The html in the var data looks like this.
<div id="div" title="title example">
<p>
Content
</p>
<p>
Content
</p>
</div>
Thanks again
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
});
