Question

I have a Jquery Get Method here. And in this method I reload the html page. So in the function(data) I get a blob of HTML. Can you tell me how I can search it to find a control by its ID. Its mainly used to replace the control.

this works on chrome but fails on ie

x = $("<div>").append(data).find("#ControlID").html();

Any ideas?

Cheers

I have attempted to just run x = $(“”).append(data).html() and even that returns blank. I do have tags on the page I am attempting to load?

Assuming you are trying to find the control inside the HTML returned by jQuery.get:

var theJqObjectFound = $(data).find('#your_id_here');
