Question

I would like to .get a page and then use jquery to find elements such as links. How do i make $(‘#blah’) search the get data instead of the page?

Answer 1

For finding links or a specific element like your example, you can do this:

$.get('test.html', function(data) {
   var links = $('a', data); //Use the response as the context to search in
   var blah = $('#blah', data);
});
