I am pulling my hair out over this. I swear that this is a bug. For some reason, I CANNOT target any forms within the html response. I have tried very simple examples and it still won't work. Here is what I have, that still returns undefined:
HTML: <form id="test" action="http://test.com";> <span id="test2">this is my text</span> </form> jQuery: success: function(html){ alert($(html).find("#test").attr('action')); alert($(html).find("#test2").text()); } #test2 works, but #test never does, and it seems this is because it is a form. Have I done something wrong here? Can I not target a form?
