this issue?
$.get is the Ajax call and .find gets all the p tags. They pretty much do
all the work for you. I'm using .appendTo() as an example of something you
could do with this.
$.get("hillbilly.html", function(data){
$(data).find('p').appendTo('#someId');
});
Once the data is in something you can get it all again the same way:
$('#someId').find('p') or $("#someId > p")
