Question

I’ve got ajax working that returns whole HTML page.

I need to fetch a div tag which the class name is ‘thisclass’, this is a unique css class on that page.

I managed to use .find(), but then the string turned into object, how to solve this?

$.ajax({
      'url': '/test/',
      'type': 'POST',
      'data': {'age': age},
      'dataType': 'html',
      'success': function(data) {
       // data contains a whole page of HTML, I need the contents of a div tag
          which has css class .thisclass
});

Try this code,

$.ajax({
      'url': '/test/',
      'type': 'POST',
      'data': {'age': age},
      'dataType': 'html',
      'success': function(data) {
                        $("#yourid").html($(".thisclass",$(data)).html());
                 }
});
