I need to do this: var tempDoc; $(tempDoc).load(‘<html>’ + $(document).find(‘html’).html() + ‘</html>’); and then

I need to do this:

var tempDoc;
$(tempDoc).load('<html>' + $(document).find('html').html() + '</html>');

and then do this:

$('body', tempDoc).css('background-color', '');

However when I do this, background-color removal also affects the $(document).
Is there a way to dump the $(document) into a temporary variable and change elements in it without affecting the $(document) itself?

Please let me know if this even make sense.

    I don’t think I get this at all, but is there a reason you can’t just do:

    var tempDoc = $('html')​.clone();
$('body', tempDoc).css('background-color', 'green');

    FIDDLE
