Question

My code makes a cross domain request to fetch the source of a webpage, using James Padolsey’s “cross domain mod for jQuery”: https://github.com/padolsey/jQuery-Plugins/tree/master/cross-domain-ajax;

Then it selects the first table and appends it to a existing div.

But the appended table doesn’t get rendered properly. Can anyone take a look at this fiddle and tell me why?

You’re using jQuery.. so you can traverse it by turning it into a jQuery object

function stripViewResponse() {
// Select table element
  var fetchedTable = $(antwort).find('table')[0]; // find first table
// append table
  $('#new').append(fetchedTable);
}
