Question

I have a basic jQuery question. I get an jquery object from a string:

var o = $(html_in_string)

Inside this jquery object, there is an element i want to have access to. How can i achieve that if i have the id of that element?

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly, html_in_string is a string containing html. In that case you can use find().

var o = $(html_in_string).find("#some-id")
