[jQuery] Re: HTML returned from GET: What's the best solution to this issue?
Still looking to see if this is possible. My solution (not very elegant) was to replace paragraph tags with br / tags, then split on the br / tag like so: html head title/title /head body br /br / this is the first paragraph... br /br / this is the second paragraph... br /br / /body /html That works just fine, but I'd really love to be able to generate a jQuery object from text. It would be much simpler than my solution I'm sure. You can see what I came up with here: http://www.commadelimited.com/code/fillertext/

$.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)

:) It's filler text. You've probably seen the fake Latin text lorem Ipsum It's just meant to be text put into a text box or whatever to take up visual space.
