How do you use jquery (or anything else for that matter) to get the form values from the argument in the callback of a jquery.get() call provided it is html?

for instance, say the following call:

$.get('somePage.aspx', function (data) {  
     alert('here');
            });

called the callback function with the following html:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="frmMontageWait.aspx?action=checkStatus&amp;guid=a224b7c3-fec8-4b55-870e-a33f15bad629" id="form1">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUKMTc5NTA2NTY5NmRkyx3R93TAvDqSvxEh6aKHeTSr0ZI=" />
</div><div> <input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="/wEWAwLA8/fiDgLP15SfBAKG69WwDBRTCbRBksmbw/qTkRQ4tx/K3bES" />
</div>
        <input type="hidden" name="hdnInput1" id="hdnInput1" value="100" />
        <input type="hidden" name="hdnInput2" id="hdnInput2" value="99" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

How do you go about getting the values of hdnInput1 and hdnInput2 in the callback?

    The data variable in your code stores the server-response, you can parse it for the information you want. By default this server response will be in plain text, so you have to parse that string into a jQuery object which will create DOM elements out of the string:

    //DOM-ize the server-response
data = $(data);

//now we can search the server-response like it is in the DOM (but it isn't)
var inputOne = data.find('#hdnInput1').val(),
    inputTwo = data.find('#hdnInput2').val();

    This code goes in your success callback for your AJAX call.

    Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/PDHbV/

    I’m not 100% sure that the HTML you posted is stored in the data variable, if it isn’t then that mean the HTML is already in the DOM and you can search for it normally:

    var inputOne = $('#hdnInput1').val(),
    inputTwo = $('#hdnInput2').val();
