I have a variable () loaded with a html code:

$.get(url, function (res, data) {
    response = res.responseText;
}

The response variable gets loaded with this:

<html>
<head>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="version">1</div>
</body>

</html>

how can I retrieve the content of the div#version to a variable version?

Thanks

    If you want jQuery to parse your result resulting HTML and just retrieve the content of #version you can use the following:

    var response = '<html><head></head><body><div id="version">1</div></body></html>';

var version = $( response ).filter( '#version' ).text();

    Edit: Refer to @freakish, whose is the better answer.
