You can try that and it makes more sense to me than extracting the data from your html.
I recommend using JSON for that. The response looks something like: {'title':'home_reviews', 'content':'<h2>New content</h2><p>content</p>', 'image:'', 'music':3} And your call (you can even have some error handling here): $.ajax({ url: "./content/?" + htmlDoc, dataType: 'json', success: function(json) { // process json... }, error: function() { } }) -- Klaus Sam Sherlock schrieb: > would it help if I returned an object rather than a seris of HTML nodes? > > eg the following > [title:'home_reviews', content:'<h2>New content</h2><p>content</p>', > image:'', music:3] > > if so what would be the syntax I would use to access the various parts > of the object? > > > $.get("./content/?"+htmlDoc,function(obj) { > console.info('title: ' + obj.title); > } > > still looking for a workable solution. > > thanks - S > > On 9/18/06, *Christof Donat* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > resolve div#music to #music... ? > > > > Err, no, that wouldn't be a good idea, in case someone actually > *wants* > > to distinguish between elements here...
