How to parse HTML from XMLHttpRequest in Javascript

Hi all,

I hope JS experts can help me with this one.

I accept a web-page(HTML) using XMLHttpRequest. Then, I want to parse the HTML, so that I can access the DOM tree of the page.
Can anyone help me with this ?

I have tried doing it like :

Code:

var data = XHR.responseText;
var myDiv = document.createElement("div");

myDiv.innerHTML = data.replace(/<script(.|\s)*?\/script>/g, '');

Then I try doing things like :

Code:

myDiv.getElementsByTagName("table");

but they fail.

Thanx

You can try using jQuery which has an amazing selector functionality.

 

Thanx pradeep
