Question

I’m always having trouble with that,
i’m loading a file with AJAX :

$.ajax({
    url: fullHref,
    success : function(result) {
        console.log(fullHref+" was loaded via AJAX");
        saveImages(result);
    }
});     

and trying to iterate through all images in result :

function saveImages(file){
    console.log("savesImages enterd");
    $(file).find('img').each(function(){
        console.log("The file has this image : "+$(this).attr('src'));
    });
}
}

I’ve also tried :

• $('img',file)
• $('img',$(file))
• $('img',$(file).html())

Yet it doesn’t enter the loop.

Any suggestions?
I’m using Chrome, and i don’t wanna use regex.

Tryfilter() instead of find:

$(file).filter('img').each(function() { /* ... */ });

find() looks down the DOM tree which is not what you want if the img elements in the string are all at the root level.
